Paralyzed Surgeon Performs Surgey in His Standing Wheelchair Dec 2, 2013 9:48:44 GMT -8

I found this a truly inspirational story and just shows that you can achieve and overcome anything with perseverence and determination. This surgeon continues to perform surgery using his standing wheelchair.

The orthopedic surgeon from Missouri became paralyzed in 2010 when a cyst burst in his spine, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down.

Suddenly Rummel, who practices in O’Fallon, Missouri, found himself going from performing 1,000 surgeries per year to not knowing if he’d ever work again.
‘One of my first thoughts was, “Oh my gosh, my life as I know it was erased,”’ he recalls. ‘Who you are out of the OR is gone and you have to redefine yourself.’
But the dedicated physician soon came to his senses and decided he’d be back in the OR no matter what it took.
