Samer A. Saleh, M.D. is the most inhumane, incompetent and deplorable physician I have ever had to deal with! He DOES NOT LISTEN; He HAS NO COMPASSION OR EMPATHY; and He DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS OWN ERRONEOUS ACTIONS! Dr. Saleh completely disregarded and ignored a hospital recorded/written, and verbally expressed, DNR (do not resuscitate) order on 2 occasions for my father. Instead, he ordered and placed my father on a Bi-Pap machine and moved him to the respiratory ICU in the hospital. After again verbally telling Dr. Salah, for the 3rd time, that my father had a DNR order; this heartless and cruel physician, had the audacity and gall to tell my dear mother, who was already trying to deal with the inevitable sudden passing of her beloved husband, of 62 years; that we should have taken care of the DNR order upstairs, in my father’s other hospital room; so they could use his respiratory ICU room for someone who actually needed it. My grieving mother, nor my father, who was a Military Veteran, nor any of our family members, deserved to be treated this way, especially in my father’s final moments by anyone, especially this despicable physician.
