Dr. Clark Chen Reunites with Patient Years After Lifesaving Surgery

After a lifesaving surgery, John Cassady was inspired to pursue a career in medicine thanks to his doctor at the time, Dr. Clark Chen. Now, years after first meeting, both are at the University of Minnesota Medical School.

“So, when I realized I was stable, I decided I wanted to do something that impacts society, and looking back at what I had been through, nobody impacted me more than Dr. Chen, so I decided to apply to medical school,” John Cassady said to Kare11 in an interview.
