Article on CNN...

Here I was strugling with physics a few semesters ago and this guy is blind and finishing up his MD. I didn't even think that would be possible but then again what do I know. I want to dislike the guy because I'm jealous of what hes accomplished but I just can't bring myself to do so.

Anatomy, Path, PD, mustve been fun. Histology? I read that he used a dog to walk him around the hospital too.

wait how could someone pass histology without looking through a scope? There are a whole lot of slides to look at. :\

Hmm. Interesting question. I wonder how he took the USMLEs or did a basic suture? Perhaps he will go into academia. In any case, quite an accomplishment for someone with such a severe disability. Kudos to the guy.
