 * Comment. A Medline search only gives three peer-reviewed papers for GJ Bitar, of which Google Scholar finds only moderate citation (2-10), so I'd agree that notability as an innovative surgeon isn't proven. However, the Man of the Year from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for fund-raising seems to have been covered in the press eg ,, so he might perhaps be weakly notable for that alone?

 * Delete The award is not for notability as a surgeon or physician. It's an altogether trivial award for fundraising a not very significant amount of money: "Local plastic surgeon sets the national fundraising high mark by raising $145,000 in contributions."DGG (talk) 19:57, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
