    I live in Rochester, NY and I think that Dr. Brad Berk is a great example of an inspirational Quad. He was the Chief of University of Rochester Medical Center and then he got into a bicycle accident and became a quad. As chief, he experienced medicine in the hospital system as a patient, and then became an even better chief because he was able to lead with the perspective as a patient who went through trauma and experienced the entire hospital system! He has truly improved the quality of medical care that people with disabilities receive in Rochester.

    It sounds like he would be excellent to have as a doctor because he would understand the patient's perspective.
