From Mechanic to Medical Doctor at 47 - Dr. Carl Allamby

Black Men In White Coats

What a story! Dr. Carl Allamby had a successful career as a business owner and master mechanic but couldn’t shake his childhood dream of medicine. It took a spark to remind him of this childhood dream and that was all she wrote. We learn what it took for him to overcome a childhood of poverty and low expectations from peers. We’ll see why he did not let his age stop him from achieving this dream that once seemed so insurmountable. IMPORTANT LINKS!!!!!!
