Dr.Shirazi trial set for Wednesday,December 12th

I try to steer clear of both local and controversial stories but as someone who knows Dr. Mahmaud Shirazi personally I cant help but touch on this matter.His criminal trial is set to begin in Wicomico County next week & I have had people tell me that he has loyal former patients coming from as far as North Carolina to be in the courtroom to support him.He has pled not guilty to two counts of 2nd degree assault and 2 counts of 4th degree sexual offenses.Is he guilty?I do not know.Do I think he is guilty?No,I do not-but my opinion doesnt matter and its in the judge and jury members hands now.
I can only say that my late Mother worked with him in the medical field,and after he established his own practice,she not only became his patient,but continued their friendship.When none of the doctors on the Shore could do anything for her after she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer,he pulled strings and bent over backwards to get her the care she desperately needed.He used his professional contacts to obtain the services of the very best specialists Maryland has to offer and had it not been for his diligence,she may not have had the precious little time she did with her family before the disease took her from us.He was available to us any time of night or day,and we not only had his personal cell phone number,but his private home phone number as well and he made it very clear that we could call him anytime for any reason.How many doctors do that for their patients?
And it wasnt just her either-I have had a few of his former patients tell me they also were able to call him at home anytime they needed to reach him.I do not know what transpired in the examination room with him and his accusers-all I have is my own personal experience with him to draw from and my opinion is that he is a dedicated physician and good man.After his arrest was made public,a few others came forward and proclaimed he had behaved inappropiately with them and I just hope that these accusations arent a precursor to civil suits being filed by lawyers and litigants with dollar signs in their eyes.I hope and pray he is truly innocent,and if he is indeed proven guilty I will be disappointed-but as for now I believe he is innocent of the charges.If he is not,I will have to eat crow along with his dozens of other supporters.I will provide more info as it becomes available.

I was not a patient of his, but i am a patient at that office and continue to be. I do not think he is guilty either. I only spoke with him a couple of times when he was consulted with for me. I hope everything works for him.

Wow,
What a dirtbag he must be.
Is he also a vol. fireman?
you seem to believe every stupid comment on Joe's site is actually coming from a fireman!

Thank you,Karen for your comment.

JFA...what exactly does Dr.Shirazis situation and the SFD have in common?Not to be rude,but your comment is not germain to the subject matter of the post.This is not an anti-Albero blog and never will be-I kindly suggest if you wish you start one but this isnt it

I know a lady that was a nurse for Dr. Shirazi and she has never had one bad thing to say about him.

She opened up to me one day and told me she came from an abusive first marriage. I can't see her, being the person she is, that she would have worked for the guy if she even had a slight indication that things weren't right.

Thanks TC-the unfortunate thing is even if he is cleared of all charges,the damage to his career and reputation are done.

it will be if you keep commenting over on his site.
By the way, and to keep it "germain" to the topic at hand. Just who did turn in the good doctor? Is this person creditable or a mental mess.
You see, I do agree with your belief that the damage is already done and his career in thsi area is over. If he's a good man as you say that is a real shame that one person has the capability of destroying this mans life and the lives of his wife and children, if he has any.
Sounds just like someone else I know. Hmmmm

It has to do with the SFD because you keep going over there supporting his rants against firefighters, and his censoring od real firefighter replies, and his making up of phony firefighter replies?? But then you come over here and pretend like all is well. Sorry but your words follow you. You are just as bad as him because you support his lies. Are you really that gullible that you buy into his BS?? Joes agends is to tear down the mayor. He does not care who he hurts or lies about along the way. You will come to find that out that when he gets around to trashing you. He will pretend to be your friend and play you as long as he thinks he has you duped.

I lived in Salisbury long enough to form my own opinions and I know for myself without anyone else telling me how that particular railroad is run.I dont need Joe to tell me how mismanaged things are in all areas of the city government there.
