Book Description Softcover. Condition: Good. Large Print. The Blind Doctor: The Jacob Bolotin Story reveals the amazing life of a remarkable man who was born blind to poor parents in Chicago in 1888. Rejecting the conventional wisdom of his time that marginalized the blind, he fought his way into and through the Chicago College of Medicine, graduated with honors at twenty-four, and became the world's first totally blind physician fully licensed to practice medicine. By the time he was thirty, he was one of the top heart and lung specialists in the city.Jacob Bolotins story is both fascinating and inspirational. He was one of the first to raise the awareness of the world to the plight of the blind. His speeches about his own life and the need for treating people with disabilities as capable and productive citizens were in such demand he often gave four talks a day while working full time as a doctor and teaching at three medical colleges. When Jacob Bolotin died at the age of thirty-six, five thousand people attended his funeral. Seller Inventory # SONG1883423147
