This week, CBS3 featured a story about the fateful encounter of two local physicians who met at ground zero on September 11, 2001, during the attacks on the World Trade Center. John Pryor, MD, a Philadelphia Trauma Surgeon and John Chovanes, DO, a Cooper Trauma Surgeon, both went on to serve in the military and a very close friendship was formed.
