Hero Surgeon

When Dr. Catherine Baucom found herself stuck in traffic in Baton Rouge, La., the hero surgeon leapt into action to ensure she made it to surgery. Dr. Baucom dropped into a nearby friend's house and asked to borrow a bike. The only one available was a kid's bike, but the nearly six-foot-tall medical professional donned a pink princess helmet and hopped on. During her half-hour bike ride to surgery, Dr. Baucom was stopped by police, who escorted the surgeon, still pedaling, the rest of the way. Dr. Baucom’s patient was grateful for her efforts, with Dr. Baucom saying of her patients, "I felt like I needed to get there for them."
