A Baltimore trauma surgeon was raced to his own ward on Friday after he was shot in an attempted carjacking on his way to work.
Dr. Madhu Subramanian, 38, was ambushed by two dark-colored cars that tried to block him in around 7am at the 1110 block of E. 36th Street in Northeast Baltimore, near the intersection of Loch Raven Boulevard, according to CBS Baltimore.
Neighbor Menchin Liu told the outlet that two armed suspects demanded Subramanian get out of his car – and when the surgeon drove off, instead, they shot him.
He was rushed to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, where he works in acute care surgery, trauma surgery, surgical critical care and burn care, for surgery.

Thankfully, despite being shot multiple times, Subramanian survived and has since been released.
His fellow trauma surgeon, Dr. Joseph Sakran, detailed his shock at seeing his colleague as a critically-injured patient. He wrote that he initially thought that news of the shooting was an April Fool’s Day prank.
‘As a Survivor of #GunViolence and a Trauma Surgeon at @hopkinsmedicine, I’ve seen this public health crisis from numerous vantage points,’ he tweeted Friday evening.
