Dr Palipana, the quadriplegic ER medic
In 2010, 25-year-old Dinesh Palipana was a medical student in Australia. One night, while he was driving back from visiting his parents, he got involved in a car crash that would change his life. The accident left him quadriplegic: he lost the use of his arms and legs. But that didn't stop him from becoming an emergency doctor.
