Legally Blind Medical Student Graduates From UCSF

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) ― Students became doctors during Monday's graduation at the UCSF Medical School. Nat Gleason, one of the graduates, is legally blind.

Dr. Gleason is an inspiration, but not just because of his disability. Teachers and classmates voted him the recipient of the 2008 Gold Headed Cane, which is awarded to the person who best exemplifies the qualities of a true physician. His next step is residency and hopefully an eventual career in general medicine.
