Above is a photograph of Jamshid Ghajar taken from the "NEW YORKER" of July 8, 1996.
At forty-four, he is one of the USA's leading neurotrauma specialists. On his father side he
is descended from the Qajar family that ruled Persia from the late seventeen-hundreds
until 1925, and his gradfather on his mother side was the Shah of Iran's personal physician.
Today, Ghajar is the chief of neurosurgery at Jamaica Hospital, in Queens. He is also the
President of the Aiken Neuroscience Institute in Manhattan, a research group that
grew out of the double-tragedy experienced by the children of Sunny von Bülow in
a car accident.
