With the life of a loved one hanging in the balance, he played it by the book, refusing to allow the administration of a previously effective chemotherapy for fear it would compromise other infection-fighting medication. Family argued that we would take that chance rather than risk cancer returning. Family oncologist concurred with our decision but el-Shami would not budge or even confer with our oncologist . Patient's lung cancer returned aggressively and patient passed away a month later.
