Who was born with an upside down head?

-

Claudio Vieira de Oliveira, 37, from Monte Santo, Brazil, has arthrogryp­osis — a condition that fuses joints, leaving sufferers unable to use limbs. He was also born with his head upside down. With this condition, Claudio has defied doctors to become accountant and public speaker. He types with pen in the mouth, uses phones and a computer mouse with his lips. “Since I was a child, I’ve always liked to keep myself busy and work — I don’t like to depend totally on other people,” he explains to Daily

Mail. He adds, “I do a bit of accounting, research for clients and consulting… I have learnt to turn on the TV, pick up my cell phone, turn on the radio, use the Internet, my computer — I do it all by myself.”
