Another Lebanese genius

Osama sent me this:  "I do not know what to say except that I am really happy I also carry a Syrian passport in addition to my Lebanese. I stumbled upon this article
in which they talk about this "super doctor" Nick Zouain. So i thought He is a new medical genius.  
I am in the MD PhD program and I do not claim anything about myself.. I am a simple student. But I am outraged about this article.   When I read it, I went immediately to www.pubmed.com which is the database for all medical researchers in the world. This Zouain thing does not exist except for two lame publications. I googled him and he has a website. First, he calls himself "Sir Nicholas Zouain" WTF. second, the publications he list are noncontributing to any major medical breakthrough. third, he is an expert in internal medicine, forensic medicine, radiation oncology, Urology and a chairman of GI cancer (How the fuck can you be all that). fourth,  Not to disregard those hospitals, but he works in North Dakota (I don't know of any renown american scientist/doctor there). Fifth, he has some case report publications in his section of "press releases" WTF. Sixth, He has a fucking section about his HUMANITARIAN ACTIVITIES" (tell me if you are not pissed now), seventh, He was offered a safe passage from Lebanon by the Americans during the 2006 war and he brags about it in the "links" section. Plus note that he is on a J1 visa. If he is any good of a doctor, why wouldn't his masters sponsor an H1B visa for him. Eight, this doctor guy, the radiation oncologist and the GI cancer chairman brags about enjoying Cuban cigars.  Please tell me if you have a shredder, I will send you my Lebanese passport because I am fed up.  For the american scientific community this guy does not exist.  I am sorry if I talked a lot but I could not let it pass. Enough with this bullshit.  You can quote me on this."
