Dr. Theodore Strange saves a life, finishes a marathon

It’s rare when you can find someone who finishes the grueling 26.2 miles of a marathon and yet, that’s not even his most impressive accomplishment of the day. But that’s exactly what happened on Nov. 4 for internal medicine specialist Theodore Strange, M.D.

The New York Knicks and Tissot’s “Gift of Time” program was created to honor community leaders who go above and beyond. Dr. Strange was honored on Saturday when the Knicks took on the Brooklyn Nets in Madison Square Garden. But after hearing Dr. Strange and Kristina Elfering’s story, the game felt far less important in the grand scheme of things.
