A Surgeon's Ministry to People with Disabilities

Elena Noble, MPT | October 2012

A young boy in a field of sunflowers looks up to the blue skyOccasionally you stumble across a gem in the mainstream press that makes you stop, think, and turn back and read a second time. Last week I read such an article in the New York Times, a profile of an orthopedic surgeon with a vocation for people – children and adults – with disabilities. I hope it means as much to you as it did for me.
