BLIND STUDENT EARNS M.D.
The young medical student was nervous as he slid the soft, thin tube down into
the patient's windpipe. It was a delicate maneuver -- and he knew he had to
get it right.

What a wonderful story!. I just read it and it was very touching. He not only became a doctor but he was one of the top students in the class. His teachers seem to be a great support for him. Some of the people he treated did not even realised he was blind. Very inspirational story that demonstrates that nothing is impossible for someone that really want to achieve a specific goal in life.
What an inspiring story. Of course, in reality, once he is out of school, much of what he had a chance to experience in med school will not be so likely to occur outside of school. He even acknowledges that many of his experiences in school won't be repeated in real life such as delivering a baby. He was always supervised as a med student. As a doctor he would be on his own much of the time.
I think he would make an excellent psychiatrist because of his personal experiences. This in one field he is considering. Another is research. I am sure he will do well with whatever he decides because he is so brilliant and determined. He must have incredible parents too.
The blind are as capable as we are to do things. In some points they can do better and some points we can do better. Most blind or deaf people can sense their sight or sense sound. There are also some rare cases that they sense it in different ways like esp. All in all it was a very inspiring story and I am glad to see him accomplish what he wanted.
