A Young Doctor's Timely Intervention

40 years ago, Sarah Lubarski's fiance became extremely ill in New York City. Desperate to get him to a hospital, they were ignored at two different facilities, as they assumed he was on drugs. Feeling upset, Sarah caught the attention of a young doctor who had just completed his neurological residency. Within minutes, he recognized the severity of the situation, insisted they go to Lennox Hill hospital, and even gave them $20 for the cab fare. At the hospital, they discovered David had a bleed on the brain, requiring a 10-hour surgery. Thanks to the young doctor's intervention, David made a full recovery.
