Rappin’ doctor drops the rhymes
Maj. Nickolas Karajohn, 42, a practicing physician at Camp Atterbury’s Troop Medical Clinic in Indiana, is a real rhyme doctor.
After working hours at the clinic, the Las Vegas native drops the formal “Dr. Karajohn” and becomes the hip-hop rapper known as “M.C. M.D.” He’s written 20 songs, released a 13-track album and even opened for rap group Tha Dogg Pound’s Daz Dillinger and Kurupt in 2006.
“Rap was something I strictly had a passion for, but my main goal was to become a doctor,” he said. “I joined [the Army] initially as a combat medic in 1996 and then went to medical school at the Ross University School of Medicine.”
Karajohn, who mobilized with the National Army Augmentation Detachment at Fort McPherson, Ga., to Camp Atterbury, raps about life, being a doctor and being a soldier, and he said he’s happy he can combine his two passions: medicine and music.
