Dr. Marian Khatib: First Arab-Israeli Breast Surgeon Is Appointed to High Post at Sourasky Medical Center

The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain.
 
Quote: “I was fascinated by general surgery and decided that a surgeon is what I wanted to be when I grew up,” Dr. Khatib said. “There is something very interesting about surgery that does not exist in internal medicine. You feel you can help the patient immediately and see instant results. When I started in surgery, there were a few women who worked as surgeons and even fewer who specialized in a disease that is so feminine and intimate. Over the years I realized that I wanted to be there — a woman for the women.”
