Demar
Brown
 Recently,
Dr. Rothchild became aware of the plight of a young Jamaican
boy, Demar Brown, who was in danger of losing his eyesight.
On Monday,
August 13th 2001, the nine year old received a cornea transplant
to save the child from going blind. Dr. Rothchild performed
the surgery free of charge for Demar.
The surgery
took place at the BROSLC/Boca Raton Outpatient Laser & Surgery
Center on Glades Road in Boca Raton, Florida. BROSLC also donated
their facility free for the surgery.
A number
of TV and newspaper media were there cover the little Jamaican
boy’s surgery and interview Dr. Rothchild, Demar Brown,
and his family.
