Jimmy O'Connor

"Yea, when i was a kid, i got bullied in school beacuse of my 3rd arm.... But i will move on and don't care about surgeries of removing my extra arm!"

-Jimmy O'Connor's interview with BBC News in 2015

Jimmy O'Connor is a male who was born in an hospital in October 1976

Jimmy O'Connor was quite different from other people, he was born with Polymelia. Polymelia is a syndrome that there is a 1 in 1700 probability that it could happen to a newborn child, it's basically a syndrome that gives the body a extra hand or leg to the newborn child. Most babies having this condition will undergo surgery very early on, but Jimmy was a strong man himself. He didn't want to undergo surgery, especially his mom didn't want him to go...

His mom is always scared that something wrong will happen and he dies...

He got constantly bullied in school being called a Monster, Spider, 3-armed Monster and so on. Exept for his teachers beacuse his teachers yelled to take respect on him beacuse of his disorder when he was born.... And also a girl in high school called Gina, she was amazed to see a extra-hand guy.... Jimmy's 3rd hand works perfectly. Most of the times the babies born with this syndrome had their hands very small and not working.... But Jimmy's hand was almost as big as his left upper han (as you can see in the photo) so he can move it perfectly!

Gina and Jimmy married and moved to Dover, a city near the Chunnel Tunnel.... They had a child called Jessica in 2005

Jimmy wanted to interview about his life with 3 arms, and so he contacted BBC NEWS company to explain about his life.... He started doing this since 2014
