Rima Tahhan is bad
Most selfish and inhumane doctor out there. She recommended something that wasnt suitable for my age and was going to leave huge side effects on me. When I asked her about it she didnt say anything and didnt even bother to explain. I did the research myself and when I told her all she said was yes its true!!!!! What wouldve happened if I was illiterate or didnt bother to do my research. Being a doctor is more than just having certificates hanging on the wall behind your chair. Learn to be humane first
