Overcoming Hurdles

GPD Group

The university’s dean often gives letter of recommendations for incoming interns. He had to write one for Swango as well, but the letter’s contents state that he wasn’t recommended. Oftentimes, interns wouldn’t get a chance to work. Without a glowing endorsement, no hospital would accept them. Despite this hurdle, the doctor got a surgical internship at Ohio State University Medical Center (OSU) in 1983. This was soon followed by a residency in neurosurgery.
