Aged 25, I'd been 1 home when my wheels hit a puddle and I lost control. The car flew through the air, and when it landed, my body was soaked in blood.

After eight months in hospital, I went back home, having 7 some upper limb (上肢) function and the ability to sit up again. 8 I had no movement in my fingers and legs. Despite all the misfortunes, over time, I began to 9 what had happened to me and I could still enjoy life.

I can do everything from ultrasounds (超声波) to inserting cannulas (插管), but I know the most 13 part of being a good doctor is having a heart. The patients never showed any 14 about having me, a person with walking disability, as their doctor. In fact, a man in a wheelchair even expressed his confidence in me. "You understand what I'm 15," he said.
