Live Inspired Podcast with John O’Leary: Remembering Dr. Carlos Pappalardo

Thought Leader: John O’Leary
March 16, 2023

“If he were a horse, I’d shoot him.”

I’ll never forget the sting of hearing those words spoken about me by a physician who didn’t see the hope and possibility in a 10-year-old boy hoping to regain the use of his hands.

Weeks later, I found a very different, kind-heart, visionary physician: Dr. Carlos Pappalardo. One who looked into my heart when he spoke with me, treated me as a person, and masterfully blessed me with the ability to again use my hands.

Earlier this week I learned that Dr. Carlos Pappalardo passed away at the age of 93. Today, I want to share four specific encounters with this man, how they each had a profound impact on my life and how we all can learn to live a meaningful, significant, servant-oriented, faithful and generous life.
