AZUZ: Spina bifida is condition that occurs when the spine doesn't develop properly at birth and as a result, it doesn't entirely cover the spinal cord. The condition can be mild or severe, sometimes it can be corrected with surgery, sometimes it can't.

阿祖兹：脊柱裂是指新生儿脊柱发育不正常，导致脊柱没有完全包住脊髓。这种疾病有轻度和严重之分，这种疾病有轻度和严重之分，有的病例可以通过手术进行修补，有的病例不可以。

Spina bifida wasn't the only obstacle that Karin Muraszko had to face growing up, but the person she became and the accomplishment she made are the reason why she's today's character study.

脊柱裂不是卡琳·穆拉斯科在成长过程中面临的唯一一个障碍，她所成为的人以及她取得的成就是使她登上本期人物研究版块的原因。

DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: Twenty- five years after I first met her during my residency at the University of Michigan, Dr. Karin Muraszko is still teaching me about the wonders of the brain.

CNN首席医疗记者桑杰·古普塔医生：25年前，我在密歇根大学做住院医师时第一次见到卡琳·穆拉斯科医生，她现在仍在教导我大脑的神奇之处。

古普塔：现在，卡琳正在为这个两岁男孩进行头部手术。她还要培训下一代神经外科医生。如果这还不够令人印象深刻，那我要告诉大家，她是在轮椅上完成的这一切。

MURASZKO: Often I think people choose careers and jobs because they want to pattern themselves after someone. I didn't know anybody that was quite like me. And as a result, I kind of chose my own path and in some ways, that's extremely liberating.
