Hey, today I'm going to talk about the story of Wladimir, a man that was born with Poland syndrome. The Poland syndrome affects the muscle development. The name of the syndrome is because of the discoverer of the anomaly. Wladimir, has the lack of some muscles in the top right zone of the body, also he has a congenital amputation of some fingers.
He is in the Teleton since a month of birth. A days ago, he received, from USA, a hand made of a 3D printer. The hand, allows take and drop things, control the movement and all the functions that a real hand can do.
The incredible thing, is that this hand just cost 25 dolars! Also, the time needed to make this just take 5 hours.
The way the printer works is that it heat the plastic and at the same time it goes making the shape.
It interests me becase the science surprises me so hard, the technological advances are awesome, I haven't heard of that kind of think to that price, it's absolutly incredible. Now, there is a new goal, try to give a hand, finger or foot to more people that needs it because is impossible that the other people -who has the syndrome- can't have the opportunity to obtain this equipment. I think, that just 25 dolars and 5 works' hours are so achievable and easy to get, so, in a near future, there could be more of these hands. That mode, they could feel a new experience, like open a french fries' package with both hands.

What I want to be
Well, I
would like to have a job accord to my career, being a dentist or something like
that. I would like to work in a public establishment, in a primary center of my
city. I can imagine it working in team with others colleagues.
I think
that my job will not be okay at all if I work outdoor because we have to use many
sterilized items and I could make someone very sick in just a few hours, the
people obviously would kill me. For the
same reason, I don’t want to work in an office. I addition I love the dentist’s
smell since I was a kid and if I work outside, there wouldn’t be that smell.
About the
travels, of course I would like go to many countries as I can but it’s impossible
because of the money. I’d like to go to Italy or France and make a
post-graduate there.
Currently,
I’m not doing a major because I’m in pre-graduate, but if I finish this career,
I would be a Periodontist or Implantologist, but I prefer the second one
because I want to give someone who has no hope to still smiling, to return their
smile. I don’t want to stay like a dentist because there are a lot of them; I
want to be something else.
In a hypothetical
case where I don’t finish my career, I’d have a library. It sounds weird but I
like papers, pencils, books, markers, notebook and that kind of things.
