So Many Everests: From Cerebral Palsy to Casualty Consultant

The amazing story of how one woman was determined to reach her full potential, despite the odds

Dr. Victoria Webster was born with cerebral palsy, which affected her speech and movement. However she was also extremely intelligent. Determined to use her considerable talents to the utmost, she grew up to become a doctor, and the first to specialize in Accident and Emergency medicine in a Nordic country. On route she overcame considerable prejudice—her lecturers and classmates counseled her to give up: "Who would want to be examined by you?" Diana, Victoria's mother and coauthor, was equally determined that her daughter should achieve her destiny, and together they battled against the ignorance, prejudice, and fear. This is a book of tremendous hope and encouragement.
