Modern Medicine

I found this baby picture of me in a closet today!

It’s hard to believe that for the first five years of my life, my left ear looked like a slug or something. Thanks to amazing surgical techniques, 18 or so years ago, I was given a new left ear! Every time I look in the mirror, I praise God for the knowledge He has given mankind to make life more enjoyable in Him through medicine. I was reminded today that He’s fearfully and wonderfully made each and every one of us unique, yet in the image of the Almighty God.

Perhaps this is why God called me to be a biomedical engineer.

If you’re curious how my new ear was formed, you might want to check out this YouTube video of the process. The surgeon in the video is world-renowned and was also the same doctor who made my ear (warning: not for the squeamish!).
