An inspirational story of hope and miracles as a small-town
orthopedic surgeon forever changes one woman's life after
performing a first-ever procedure that resulted in what others have
recognized as the world's most advanced amputee. A raccoon bite on
the arm doesn't seem that serious, but it soon becomes a
life-or-death medical crisis for Melissa Loomis. After days of
treatment for a recurring infection, it becomes obvious that her
arm must be amputated. Dr. Ajay Seth, the son of immigrant parents
from India and a local orthopedic surgeon in private practice,
performs his first-ever amputation procedure. In the months that
follow, divine intervention, combined with Melissa's determination
and Dr. Seth's disciplined commitment and dedication to his
patients, brings about the opportunity for a medical breakthrough
that will potentially transform the lives of amputees around the
world. Rewired is the inspirational, miraculous story of Dr. Seth's
revolutionary surgery that allows Melissa to not just move a
prosthetic arm simply by thinking, but to actually feel with the
prosthetic hand, just as she would with her natural arm. This
resulted in what others have recognized as the world's most
advanced amputee, all done from Dr. Seth's private practice in a
community hospital, using a local staff, and with no special
training or extensive research funding.
