TV SHOW GUEST 03.18.2014 Carter was born and raised in Charlottesville, Virginia. She graduated from Tandem Friends School in 2002 and graduated with a BA from Sarah Lawrence College in 2006. Her interests include music, biology, ecology, philosophy, and religious studies. While she has always had a passion for biology and medicine, following graduation she developed an intense interest in neuroscience and integrative health care. She has chosen to speak out about short-sighted, poorly informed medical mismanagement that she and others have experienced, and the serious consequences that can result. She is hoping to help people become more informed and empowered regarding the choices they make in their own medical care and for doctors to consider more seriously the Hippocratic Oath they have undertaken…”first, do no harm.”
