Dear Mahera,
We are saddened to hear of Dr. Carim's passing. As you may remember our daughter, Allison, was his first patient at TRH&MC when she was admitted on 9/28/72 with leukemia. His knowledge and compassion were like no others. We truly believe he saved Allison's life and we are forever grateful. I was happy to know that your children are all married and have given you five grandchildren to enjoy.
Wishing you God's peace,
Bob & Sherry Chambers

My sincere condolences to the family of Dr. Carim. I had the pleasure of being a student nurse while Dr. Carim was a resident at Polyclinic Harrisburg. Ironically, several years later, I had the privilege of working for him in private practice in Wyomissing. Dr. Carim was an excellent MD,an extremely caring individual, and a friend. He will be sorely missed.
