Orthopedic Surgeon & Patient Interviewed for WGN Program
- updated: May 12, 2025
Illinois Masonic orthopedic surgeon Dr. Gabriel Levi and his patient Katie Carson were interviewed today for WGN’s program Living Healthy Chicago.
In 2011, Katie suffered a severe tibia and fibula break while playing soccer. When she saw that her leg was bent at nearly a 90-degree angle, she thought she would never walk again. She was brought to Illinois Masonic, where Dr. Levi inserted an intramedullary rod. Two days later, Katie was able to weight bear. Six months later, she was able to run a half marathon!
WGN interviewed both Katie and Dr. Levi at Illinois Masonic for the story. They also captured some B-roll footage of Katie running in the park outside the CAC! I’m including a few behind-the-scenes shots below.
Many thanks to Dr. Levi and Jacquetta for sharing this wonderful story with us! If you’d like to tune in, the segment, which will be part of a bone health show, will air on WGN on Sunday, Oct. 11, at 11:30 am.
