Inspiring Medical Case:
Dr. Rose was acquainted with a woman who worked at Jersey Shore Medical Center. She was hit by a car while leaving work, and her arm was nearly severed off. Dr. Rose and an orthopedic surgeon spent hours piecing together the nerves and blood vessels of her arm. The woman, who also worked incredibly hard in therapy, regained nearly 100 percent function of her arm. “It is inspiring to see her every day at the hospital, waving to me with her fully functioning hand,” says Dr. Rose.

Quote:
“I am most proud of the fact that, professionally, I feel that I have maintained an extremely ethical code. In plastic surgery, there can be a lot of pressure to operate on someone who walks in, cash in hand. But by maintaining ethics and standards of excellence, I can provide exceptional care to my patients.”
