Good message. I am disabled (legally blind( and have also acted as a standardized patient in grad school. It was a great opportunity for the med students to have exposure to disabilities.
On my blog Labelosophy, I often discuss the importance of disability acceptance in society. Acceptance in the healthcare community is vital.
