Abstract | Dr. Suberman discusses his upbringing in an academic family, his unique journey toward his medical career, and the physicians who influenced him along the way. He recounts the value of his military training in shaping his interest in medicine as a whole and radiology as a specialty, as well as his experience entering the University of North Carolina School of Medicine as half of the first married couple to enter the school together. Dr. Suberman reflects on the UNC faculty who gave him experiences in medical school as well as during his internship. His utmost desire to care for patients in the community and to remove barriers in doctor-patient communications led him from academic medicine to private practice and to a law degree, which he uses to prosecute medical malpractice cases. Dr. Suberman highlights the changes in the field of radiology and reflects on his time as a medical practitioner. |
