We left for Chicago on July 7th, It was hot sunny day. We stopped at Aurora Mall to shop on the way there. When we got to the hospital.

Two weeks prior to my junior year of college, I had ACL reconstructive surgery in my left knee. Due to complications in surgery, my lateral meniscus remained torn in spite of the surgery. This exacerbated an already difficult and demanding recovery. Months into my recovery, I struggled with…
Born with a cleft lip. Numerous surgeries. A few years ago as I was falling asleep I remembered what I believe to be my first memory-- both arms restrained miles away from the stitches on my tortuously itching face. Is that trauma? The next several years were punctuated with appointments and surgeries with various physicians who fixed my face. At risk of wading into the poetic, the dreams to become a physician and practice medicine grew from the admiration I had for the doctors who took care of…
