RELEASE INFORMATION
Michael Carr honored at the Fall Festival of the Arts at UMDNJ for his work on the film "The Cowboy".
The film was shown over a period of three days to the public as well as
doctors, nurses and medical students during the festival.
He was asked to participate by one of Mike's own doctors, Dr. Joseph
Benevenia, a world reknowned orthopedic surgeon. It was Dr.
Benevenia who performed the limb salvage procedure on Michael during
his cancer treatment.
Dr. Benevenia is also an artist and one of the founders of the
festival. When he is not performing surgery he is a sculptor and
his works were also featured along with the other various works of art
by other doctors and nurses.
During the festival, Michael conducted a question and answer period at
the conclusion of film and discussed patient sensitivity, the family's
role in cancer treatment and adolescent patient care from his
experience. Dr. Benevenia thought the film, "The Cowboy" offer
the medical staff a unique perspective in their roles as medical
professionals.
