Autorenporträt

Abdallah was born in Al-Bassa, a little town in northern Palestine. He grew up as an orphan as his mother passed on when he was a year and a half old and his father died six months later. As a little child, on May 14, 1948, he and his two sisters and other family members fled Palestine and ran across the mountain separating Palestine from Lebanon. They hid behind boulders to avoid being hit by Jewish machine gun fire. He had his elementary, high school, and college education in Beirut. Abdallah wanted to further his education by enrolling at the University of California at Berkeley and later at the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco. He graduated as a doctor in 1968 after which he joined the faculty of the medical school in Nashville Tennessee.
