CT Survivor Stories

Leon Chameides, MD

“If you are a survivor, at some point, you are going to have to ask yourself, ‘why did I survive?’ And that puts a sort of burden to accomplish something with your life because you’ve got to, number one, deserved to have survived and number two, live life for those who didn’t.”
