LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A woman who lost both legs and an arm as a child is poised to become a doctor for children.
Kellie Lim, who became a triple amputee at age 8 because of bacterial meningitis, is to graduate from UCLA's medical school on Friday, and she plans to focus on childhood allergies and infectious disease.
And of all the topics she sampled during medical school, only her work with children left her "smiling at the end of the day."
...
"I hate failing," she said. "It's one of those things that's so ingrained in me."
...
She made no attempt to hide the residual limb, which she skillfully maneuvered to hold down papers; following medical protocol, she briskly washed the right limb and her left hand before touching patients or instruments.
I imagine she’d have one heck of a presentation… not sure how to get in touch with her, though. A quick search at ucla.com had some hits for news articles, but no contact information.
Perhaps you could contact UCLA and leave OPM contact info for her?
