In Part 1, Dr. Jack Raba recounts his transformative high-school volunteer experience at Cook County Hospital, his return to Cook County as a student at Northwestern Medical School.  Seeking to build clinical confidence, he took a year off to work in hospitals in Mexico and Guatemala.  As a physician-in-training at Cook County Hospital, he and his colleagues grappled with the ethical dilemma of physicians going on strike.  Hear about the brief incarceration of the strike organizers and Jack’s accidental escape from Cook County Jail.  

Epilogue provided by Ken Brucks, longtime friend and sometimes rival on Christ the King basketball courts.
