Protracted review period is not uncommon. I have had to wait almost an year for one of my papers to get published. If your senior is in a hurry he/she may want to withdraw and try a different journal.
BTW: Did your senior send one paper to several journals simultaneously?

Why one should send a manuscript to journals that don't decide in few months? Most reputable journals would take upto 4 months to decide. Quite often, you may hear within a week if manuscript is unlikely to be published.
Perhaps, sharing our experience of wait-time with journals will be a good way to start.

This is intellectual dishonesty of highest order which i have never heard off. One suggsstion is to give him a print out of Instructions to authors of the Journal, which usually clealry mentions the criteria for authorship.
If he is a sensible man,he will get the Joke and refrain from his illogical demand.
If that ""Professor" is admant,then there is no harm in saying plain NO. Such Intellectually dishonest, so called Pseudo Professors of Pakistani medical colleges have no shame, ethics, morals and cannot say much once a person takes a principle stand. I have refused my seniors and it helps in setting your impression for times to come.

Recently, i read an article published in Annals of PIMS which has been published in an other journal. is it not unfair to submit an article in two or more journals?

Yes, it is against ethics of medical writing to submitt your paper to two journals at the same time for publication.
This is called duplicate publication
