Dr. Bibek Banskota holds Maya Gurung as she screams in pain during a session to measure her leg. The photo was taken from a reflection in a mirror, so the image is reversed.

Jwalant Gurung (in tan pants) ran into Maya and her father and brought them back to Kathmandu for care. On the floor are Maya's mother and sister.

Bhim Bahadur Gurung worries that his daughter's chances of any kind of normal life were gone when she lost her leg.

Doctors carefully measure Maya's left limb to make her a prosthetic leg.

Dr. Banksota agreed to treat Maya at a Kathmandu hospital founded by his father to provide medical care for impoverished children in Nepal.
