Submission + - Triple Amputee Graduates Medical School

karvind writes: "Hats off to Kellie Lim, who became a triple amputee at age 8 because of bacterial meningitis, is to from UCLA's medical school on Friday. She plans to focus on childhood allergies and infectious disease. Lim, whose legs were amputated six inches below the knee, walks so normally that those who don't know her history can't tell she's walking on artificial limbs. When she lost her right forearm, Lim learned to use her left hand, minus three fingertips. Today, she can take blood and give injections one-handed."
