Woman becomes doctor at same children’s hospital that saved her life

Saturday, June 24, 2023 at 12:00 AM

A person in Indiana comes full circle with a hospital that once helped save her life.

The full story below from WXIN/Ozarks First:

When she was 10 years old, Maria Dodson needed a life-saving procedure to fix her heart.

She had been diagnosed with Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome, a congenital heart defect that causes episodes of rapid heartbeat, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. She spent months at the Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis, undergoing successful heart ablation procedures to correct the electrical pathways in her heart.

More than a decade later, she is now back at Riley, but not as a patient. Instead, she is there as a doctor after majoring in neuroscience at the University of Evansville and pursuing medical school at Marian University.
