This is the story of a person who started his life as a delinquent boy in India who immigrated to America and became one of the preeminent cardiac surgeons in the United States.

He spent most of his career at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence and was a professor at the Brown University Medical School.  He performed over 15,000 cardiac surgeries during his career.

I graduated from Brown and have lived in Rhode Island (seasonally) for over 17 years, but I had never heard of this individual.  His story is inspiring.  He is a living tribute to the argument for immigrants in this country.  He is also an advocate for providing quality health care to those who cannot afford it.

This is a really inspiring story.
