The summer before my sophomore year of college, I had freak accident and tore my ACL and meniscus. I was a competitive runner, and after I received my diagnosis, Dr. McCarthy created a treatment plan that was conducive to me running again as soon as possible. At first, I was progressing well, but soon I began experiencing stiffness in my knee. Running became difficult, let alone walking. I found myself back on the table 10 months later. Dr. McCarthy opened me up and took out the extra scar tissue that had formed at the joint and was interfering with my mobility. Thanks to Dr. McCarthy's incredible work, expertise, and diligence, exactly two months later, I was able to fly out to Rio and intern for NBC at the Olympics, as well as return to doing all the other things I love!
