CNN News:脊柱裂患者成为神经外科专家

AZUZ: Spina bifida is condition that occurs when the spine doesn't develop properly at birth and as a result, it doesn't entirely cover the spinal cord. The condition can be mild or severe, sometimes it can be corrected with surgery, sometimes it can't.
Spina bifida wasn't the only obstacle that Karin Muraszko had to face growing up, but the person she became and the accomplishment she made are the reason why she's today's character study.
DR. SANJAY GUPTA, cnn CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: Twenty- five years after I first met her during my residency at the University of Michigan, Dr. Karin Muraszko is still teaching me about the wonders of the brain.
DR. KARIN MURASZKO, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, PROFESSOR, NEUROSURGERY: Our job is to kind of recapitulate what should have happened in nature.
阿祖兹：脊柱裂是指新生儿脊柱发育不正常，导致脊柱没有完全包住脊髓。这种疾病有轻度和严重之分，这种疾病有轻度和严重之分，有的病例可以通过手术进行修补，有的病例不可以。
脊柱裂不是卡琳·穆拉斯科在成长过程中面临的唯一一个障碍，她所成为的人以及她取得的成就是使她登上本期人物研究版块的原因。
cnn首席医疗记者桑杰·古普塔医生：25年前，我在密歇根大学做住院医师时第一次见到卡琳·穆拉斯科医生，她现在仍在教导我大脑的神奇之处。
密歇根大学神经外科教授卡琳·穆拉斯科医生：我们的工作就是重述本应该自然发生的事情。

GUPTA: Right now, Karin is operating on the brain of this two-year-old boy. She's training the next generation of neurosurgeons. And if that weren't impressive enough, she's doing it all from a wheelchair.
MURASZKO: Often I think people choose careers and jobs because they want to pattern themselves after someone. I didn't know anybody that was quite like me. And as a result, I kind of chose my own path and in some ways, that's extremely liberating.
GUPTA: Karin didn't just break the mold, she shattered it. And in 2005, became the first woman chair of neurosurgery in the country.
MURASZKO: Next time you see someone who doesn't fit the mold of what you think someone should be, think outside the box.
GUPTA: Dr. Sanjay Gupta, cnn, reporting.
I love you.
古普塔：现在，卡琳正在为这个两岁男孩进行头部手术。她还要培训下一代神经外科医生。如果这还不够令人印象深刻，那我要告诉大家，她是在轮椅上完成的这一切。
穆拉斯科：我时常在想，人们选择一份职业和工作是因为他们想追随某个人。不过我不认识像我这样的人。结果就是，我选择了自己要走的路，从某种程度上说，这是一种极度的自由。
古普塔：卡琳不只是打破了常规，她是打碎了常规。2005年时，她成为国家首位女性神经外科学主任。
穆拉斯科：下次你看到有人没有按照你认为的那种模式发展，你要跳出思维定势。
古普塔：cnn，桑杰·古普塔医生报道。
我爱你。
