He is from right here, thank you, the eldest son of the CFO of a pharmaceutical company who hails from the exotic locale of the Upper East Side, by way of Brooklyn. His home life was comfortable, his family life tight-knit. Supportive, encouraging parents and an innate sense of studiousness propelled Rasheed through school with high marks, his thirst for knowledge most intently focused around the sciences. | ||
This thirst led him to an education in medicine, staying close to home and family to attend NYU for his undergrad, though med school took him farther south to Johns Hopkins. With a specialization in neurology, he eventually returned to New York as a neurosurgeon, doing his residency at Mount Sinai Hospital and staying on there even once he was through. All told he was there for a decade -- between residency and afterwards. In his last years at the hospital he helped to found a clinic, catering to those who could not afford medical care otherwise, or found themselves underserved by other systems. Displaced and low-income populations, drug using populations, undocumented immigrants, mutants; the Health Center slowly became known for offering excellent care free of judgments. | This thirst led him to an education in medicine, staying close to home and family to attend NYU for his undergrad, though med school took him farther south to Johns Hopkins.
