NO ARMS AND LEGS

Have you seen or heard of Nick Vujicic who lives without limbs ? Go check it out at http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org/mbs.org/ on his touching stories and purposeful living.

Here is a little funny story shared by Nick:
My cousin is studying Nursing. They were learning about blood pressure etc. he puts his hand up and asks, "how would you take the blood pressure of a person who has no arms?" The lecturer thought he was being a bit "smart" with her, and replied that they'd simply then check it on the legs. And then guess what my cousin asks, "What if they have no legs either?" The lecturer feels threatened and furious and my cousin is sent out and told not to come back. We later find out that in an emergency, they'd have to stick a rod straight into my heart if I really needed it measured. So I'm in no hurry to measure my blood pressure.
