A Black medical student is working the front lines of the pandemic at the same hospital where he once was a security guard
After Ledet eventually made his way to higher education by way of the US Navy, he worked at a Louisiana hospital as a security guard. Now, he's returned to that same hospital working on the front lines as a medical student during the coronavirus pandemic. "They'd be like, 'man you're a security guard, you can't ever be a doctor,'" he said. "It's been surreal to go back and work in the same operating room I once escorted Dr. Greiffenstein to as a security guard," he said. The Tulane students hoped their group photo would make a difference for all Black students.
