>>>>From the Capital Times (6.2.10):
>>> Tim Cordes one of few sightless doctors in U.S.
>>> by TODD FINKELMEYER
>>> ...[Tim] Cordes has been reticent to share his story, not wanting to
>>> become a poster boy for overcoming visual disabilities. But he's
>>> slowly becoming more at ease telling his inspirational tale...
>>> ...Cordes was valedictorian of his class at the University of Notre
>>> Dame in 1998, posting a 3.99 GPA while earning an undergraduate
>>> degree in biochemistry and conducting research on antibiotics. He
>>> then was accepted into the UW School of Medicine and Public
>>> Health's medical scientist training program, completing the
>>> notoriously challenging sequence that requires a student to finish
>>> both medical school and a Ph.D.-level research program...
>>> ..Despite these made-for-the-big-screen qualities to his life,
>>> Cordes remains leery of being put on a pedestal: "I look forward to
>>> a world where people with disabilities do what they can and what
>>> they want, and it's not exciting or it's not different."...
