Liebe Sokol Diamond
Diamond worked at Sinai Hospital after medical school in Baltimore. She had summer jobs there when she was younger. She did her internship and residency there. She worked as a pediatrician. Then she decided to become a surgeon. Dr. Gelman, who was still her friend, thought that orthopedics for children needed to get better. Diamond studied orthopedic surgery, or how surgery can help people's bodies be the right shape to help them move. She focused on pediatrics, or medicine for children. In 1955 she completed her degree in orthopedic surgery at University of Pennsylvania. Her own physical differences were not too hard. Being a woman made many people doubt her.
