You'd be surprised how many different ways disabled people found their place in the scientific community. It's because there, nothing but the study results matter. People share passion for a subject, instead of focusing on the people. Even the cultural differences don't matter when you're working internationally with your colleques. Just a community of dedicated people working together to learn more. It's so great.

I've had a surgery that had been made only a couple of times before in my country at the time, I was a kid at the time. For me, what was most remarkable, was not necessarily even the result of the surgery, but the fact that the surgeon was up-front about the risks and the possibilities, despite me being a child. It is very important to us patients that the surgeons are realistic and humble about the situation, and talk to the client as a fellow person they're co-operating with, not as "an experiment". It makes you feel safer. Thank you for your very important work!
