John L. Wooten, son of hospital founder William I. Wooten, followed his father into medicine and has been an orthopedic surgeon in Greenville since 1955. As a boy, he accompanied his father on rounds at Johnston Street - which, he recalls, had a garden in the back to grow food for the hospital. John's son, Lamont, is also an orthopedist, giving the family three-generations of doctors.
