Physician-scientist Dr. Hooman Noorchashm is an advocate for patient safety, ethics and women’s health. He specializes in cardiothoracic surgery and has taught and practiced medicine for nearly two decades. When his wife, also a doctor, Dr. Amy Reed, tragically (and needlessly) passed away from complications of an FDA approved gynecologist procedure that is still in essence performed today, Dr. Noorchashm began his new incarnation of patient advocacy of do no harm.
Dr. Noorchashm now brings this perspective to why some people may have adverse effects from the vaccine. And how this might translate into who should or should not get the vaccine. As well as how we might test this ourselves.
Faculty appointments for Dr. Noorchashm's include positions at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and the Philadelphia VA Hospital.
In addition to peer-reviewed publications, he has authored medical book chapters and has lectured at several annual medical meetings and conferences.
In 2017, Dr. Noorchashm founded the American Patient Defense Union, Inc. which he describes as “a union of, by and for patients — capable of providing adequately powered liability signals to the corporate healthcare establishment so that it can improve and evolve.”
