You’ll never sing again, said her doctor. But in a story from the very edge of medical possibility, operatic soprano Charity Tillemann-Dick tells a double story of survival — of her body, from a double lung transplant — and of her spirit, fueled by an unwavering will to sing. A powerful story from TEDMED 2011.
