Refugee, Dishwasher, Heart Doctor After fleeing Syria as a child and living in refugee camps in Germany, I arrived in the US at 18 years old two weeks after 9/11. Ten years later, I graduated from medical school and started training at Emory University, one block away from the restaurant where I used to wash dishes. True to the American Dream, I am a heart doctor now, and I help recreate that dream for others. Read more about my journey. |
