From RBWH patient to Paralympic gold medal champion
Curtris McGrath was a combat engineer serving with the Australian Army in Afghanistan in 2012, when he lost both legs after stepping on an Improvised Explosive Device (IED).
RBWH was critical to Curtis's life-saving care. RBWH Trauma Surgeon Dr Michael Rudd, who was a reservist, operated on Curtis in Afghanistan. At RBWH, his medical team led by Surgeon Dr Daryl Wall treated him for the potentially fatal fungul infection, mucormycosis, which at the time was killing 30% of US soldiers with similar wounds.
Fulfilling a battlefield promise to his Army squadron, Curtis has since won 12 World Championship gold in kayak and four Paralympic god medals collected in Paris, Tokyo and Rio.
