Karen shares, “The most challenging experience I faced in the prison was being held hostage by an inmate on Friday the 13th October 1989. Karen saw the difference she could make in a population that needed a doctor who would stand up for them and protect them from abuses of power. Before the 4 years were up she determined to turn her work as a prison doctor into a career. She was directed to Northern Nevada Correctional Center where she became the first woman doctor to serve at a men’s prison. In exchange she was required to spend 4 years caring for the underserved. To finish medical school Karen received a scholarship. Part of the allure of medicine was that, as a doctor, people would need her help.
She read countless stories about doctors, they enthralled her because in those stories was adventure, danger, romance and methods to take care of the underdog. That trauma caused her mother to be overprotective and isolating which may have caused Karen to be painfully shy and feel socially awkward.įrom the time she was 9 years old Karen dreamed about being a doctor. Karen’s mother and her family spent years surviving starvation, lice, freezing and being held prisoners under the Russians. Karen’s grandmother, along with her mother, and her seven siblings, tried to escape when the Russians invaded Germany. Her parent’s life was deeply affected by WWII. Part of the a Karen grew up hiking and skiing in the Catskill Mountains in New York State. From the time she was 9 years old Karen dreamed about being a doctor.
