He took up a job as a security guard at a hospital near him called Baron Roug Medical Center.

Working there, the young man realized his passion for medicine and began working towards it, Metro News reported.

"I’d take flashcards to work with me and whenever I had chance I’d sit and study them", said Russell

According to Russel, he spent just over three years as a security guard.

During the earlier stages of his role, he never had intentions to become a medical doctor because he had no prior exposure to that sort of environment, he intimated.

"I did whatever I could to learn, I asked a surgeon if I could shadow him on shift so he could help me become who I want to be, and I’m grateful he said yes. That was the first real opportunity I got", he said
