Paralyzed Doctor Still Perform Surgeries

A successful Missouri surgeon Dr. Ted Rummel has beaten unbelievable odds by returning to the OR after suffering sudden paralysis from the waist down.


Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Ted Rummel was devastated with the news of a blood-filled cyst on his spine in 2010 that would eventually burst and lead to his paralyzation from the waist down. Despite the complications, however, the dedicated doctor has managed to find a way to continue working in the operating room through the use of an electric stand-up wheelchair.
