Show notes

At age 19, Cliff Meidl survived an electric shock that prompted his doctors to say they needed to amputate both legs above the knees. But his mother did some research and discovered Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy, a plastic surgeon and clinical professor of plastic surgery at UCLA School of Medicine. Lesavoy saved Meidl's legs, and then Meidl began the tough journey of learning how to walk again. In this episode, Meidl describes how he overcame feelings of shame, built his confidence and became an Olympic kayaker.
