WVU School of Medicine resident Habib Zalzal (third from right) talks with Hassan Ramadan, chair of WVU's Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery (fourth from right), and other members of his research team. The team's research suggests that tonsillectomy patients can often be discharged sooner than hospital-mandated timeframes may require. The project earned Zalzal the G. Slaughter Fitz-Hugh Research Award for the southern region of the Triological Society.
