A miracle happened ten years ago at Shaare Zedek - January 22, 2002! Video of reunion between Shayna and Dr. Deeb:


Dr. Maher Deeb saved the life of a young woman
Deeb and Shayna  
named Shayna Gould who had been studying in Israel for the year.  Shayna was a 19 year old Chicagoan who was shot in a terrorist attack. When she arrived at the hospital, according to all reports she was near death with seriously weak vital signs. Dr. Deeb worked tirelessly with his talented staff to perform a miracle and brought Shayna back to life.
Dr. Maher Deeb, an Israeli Arab, was born in Haifa and raised in the Galilee village of Rama in northern Israel and is currently

the Director of the Matloff Department of Cardi-Thoracic Surgery at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.  Dr. Deeb received his medical degree and completed his residency in Cardiothoracic Surgery at Hebrew University Medical School, and was a Clinical Fellow at the Department of General Thoracic Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia.  Since joining Shaare Zedek in 2000, Dr. Deeb has played an integral role in saving countless lives while establishing Shaare Zedek as the premier center for thoracic surgery in all of Israel.  As an Israeli Arab working in a senior position in a Jerusalem hospital, Dr. Deeb exemplifies Shaare Zedek's status as a model of social co-existence. 
Dr. Deeb is perhaps the epitomy of our mission; to provide high-tech medicine combined with compassionate patient care. Ask Dr. Deeb when he takes time off and he will laugh.  "It is a very rare day that I am not at the hospital for at least some period of time," says Dr. Deeb. "My patients all have my cell phone number and my pager so that they can reach me whenever they have a question or need immediate medical attention."
