I think it's one thing to say that people with disabilities can and should have any career they want, but it's another thing entirely when it actually happens. Jan Brunstrum, a doc in St. Louis, also has CP. I'm a bit more affected than she is.

Lets set the bar really high for you and leave you with no excuses.
Alex's neurosurgeon who performed his SDR is Karin Muraszko. She has spina bifida and her parents were told to place her in an institution. She has been named the Chair of the University of Michigan Neurosurgery Department. She has trouble walking too but it doesn't stop her at all.
