Charles Carroll, an Emergency Room orderly at Jewish Hospital, develops skills far beyond his job description. Generations of medical students and trainees learn from him.
“As the years went by, my colleagues and I came to rely on Mr. Carroll. He could read X-rays way beyond our skills. It became a bellwether of evaluation for surgery residents and medical students. If the young doctor was rude to Mr. Carroll or didn’t have enough sense to respect his gentle advice, we had little hope of that person becoming a capable, compassionate physician.”
