Having a doctor that can relate to you on a real human level makes them better doctors.

Physicians with "disabilities" have an advantage over other doctors due to their genuine ability to empathize with their patients.

My son has a pediatrician years ago that was in a wheelchair. We adored him, he listened, to me, (I have a physical disability.) He encouraged my son to explain what was going on with him and what he needed, instead of having some adult talk over him. And when someone called DCFS because they didn't think a single mother with a physical disability could take care of a child, he defended me. It meant the world to me.

And now he takes care of children who also have disabilities. This is so beautiful. He can be the inspirational physician that he never had growing up. I have tears steaming down my face right now.

These are the real type of MDs who treat patients not just any medical chart, but people with family and lives.

Dr. Sexton seems like such an amazing person and doctor. If he were closer I would definitely take my kids to him. God bless him and his family and the hospital that gave him a chance

“You’re disability needs to give you credibility.” I like that quote.

Now that was a freak accident ! Thats crazy ! Wonderful he overcame this obstacle.

As someone with multiple physical disabilities who used to work in medicine but now spend more time as a patient, I love seeing this! Docs who are relatable (but also are super good at their jobs) are the best!

My skin doctor is also in a wheel chair. He is so nice and friendly and positively different from other doctors, I would never think to go somewhere else instead. I'm happy to have found him :-). I can only encourage people with a disability to become physicians if they wish so. Patients will trust and like you even more because you are already visibly a strong fighter who knows about highs and lows in life and health. Greetings from Germany.

Dr. Sexton has the same disability as me. I also have spastic diplegia. I also want to become a doctor. His story is so inspiring and gives me comfort that I can do anything if I put my mind into it. And to those people who think that people that have the mentality that people w/ disabilities can’t be independent and have normal lives, you’re WRONG. We have the same dreams and hopes as you do, and please, do not feel pity for us. Our disability helps become stronger and a better person to help those in need ❤️

I love this so much! It gives me hope to pursue my dream of becoming a gastroenterologist :) I think it is SO IMPORTANT that the MD is FIRST the patient.. (in some cases) it makes them more compassionate and understanding of what their patients are suffering with imo

These doctor's are truly amazing..

Never judge a book by its cover.

This story gives so many people hope where there seems to be no hope as this story makes it feel like disabled people who feel so useless quite useful and gives them so much hope. Just because you’re disabled doesn’t mean that your mind is.; makes my disability seem so insignificant though. I’d be so proud to have you as my doctor as you have feelings like everyone else. I wish you nothing less than the best life has to offer and for following your dream to become a doctor ; You have a heart of gold. Your determination and willpower is what allowed you to keep going and follow through with your dream and lead a successful life. GOD BLESS YOU 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

"We are all handicapped, mine the world can see but we are all struggling with something" that made me cry soo much that is the most -truthful word said. I have 7 kids and I suffer mental disorder called OCD is not seen but is a battle inside that I fight the moment I wake up till the time I go to bed every single day for past 23 yrs of my life I am 30 now and still am fighting to keep going in living a positive life and inspire others that our struggles doesn't have to define us.

Drs like him give so many kids hope! ‘No’ doesn’t mean quit

inspiring story

props to him for not letting his disability stop him.

Paralyzed surgeon? More like real life Doctor Strange

This is an amazing story! Would love to work with this man.

What a remarkable young man. That's the kind of person you want for a doctor, someone who truly cares, and wants to help, and isn't there strictly for the money. Good on him.

The second guy is the definition of someone that was meant to be a doctor literally born to be a physician.

Congratulations to all doctors who never gave up in pain and doubt, but pushed through adversity! You are our heros and inspiration!

If I was anywhere near these doctors, I'd do ANYTHING to get in with them!

Sorry, not Iron man but Doctor Strange

Definitely need to shine more light on stories like this. Bravo to the reporter.

Amazing colleagues, proud of each one of you! Thanks for your service, you make us better!

You're all heroes.That was amazing

rip doggo 8:31

Somebody who truly knows what it’s like to be on the receiving end and has compassion to many doc/ nurses do it for the money not because they care and a lot of us been on the receiving end of them !!! Praise him genuine doc/guy

I love Dr. Saxton (sp) the pediatrician, what an awesome guy and an awesome doctor! He brings the human aspect to the bedside, when many doctors seem to leave that side fo them at home!

Kudos to all the doctors Actually doctors with disability can empathise with patients and form better docs them normal docs 😊 Being in medical school I feel how difficult can it be Keep going guys All the best 👍🏻

Now, this is such a beautiful story👏👏👏 it is a blessing to be a blessing to others

Dr sexton your perseverance has motivated me God has truly blessed you. Continue to serve ,save and motivate others.

Love good doctor I could watch it over and over , I love this actor Norman

8:32 - the dog was like "watch it young lady"

Where is this pencil sharpening job? I want in.

I am a retired nurse and I regret never having the opportunity to work with such great Dr.s or to have been treated by them. I worked in the OR for 30 years and i know how difficult the job is, I am in awe.

Awesome! I work with special needs s children and I pray that we can get a doctor like him in Wilmington N.C. keep doing great things!

Wow wht a inspiration...thanks for this😊😊😊😊

Wow great people in a screwed up world

This proves that when you really want to do something, you fight for it and do it. No matter what.

The world can be cruel, thank GOD that this young man got a break at life. Dr. Sexton is GOD sent.

Disability? More like, this-ability

I take my hat off to these doctors. Why should a disability stop you from doing something that you want. I can relate to all of these doctors. I too have a disability. I was born with a speech impediment and I suspect that I may also be Autistic. Right throughout my school years all of my teachers told me that I was dumb and stupid, and just give up. They told me that I will never be able to go to university, as that was a place for the highly intelligent which according to them I wasn't. Ever since I was very young I dreamed of going to university. I LOVE forensic science. I at the end of my school years gave up my dream to go into university, as I believed that I was to dumb. Now years later, my dream came back to me, as I discovered that I was extremely gifted in psychology. And now I am going through university a place which I was told that I would never go to, and yet here I am, and I am flourishing. I really enjoy psychology, and in particular Neuro Psychology which to me is a peace of cake, and yet my peers all struggle in that subject. Hech, in one of the presentations, I actually got told to dumb things down as it was at a level of either a Masters or PhD student and not a bachelors degree. I hated dumbing it down to me it wasn't answering the question, but I reluctantly did so. My group was one point shy of getting a perfect score for that presentation, and it was all thanks to me. I know this because the teacher asked us, "Could this patient have another form of dementia other the Wrenkler Kosicove syndrome?" I answered the question, "I said yes." And I explained that it could be vascular dementia, as both diseases effect the blood vessels within the brain. The patient smoke marijuana in his youth, and abused alcohol. I made the entire class including the teacher to drop their mouths, they couldn't believe in how much I knew of these disease, and the general roots for them. All of this from an idiot. I hope to one day become a doctor in forensic neuro psychology.

This was very inspiring for me , i studied for three years to become a midwife before getting a stroke , i was prevented from writing the final exam . i even graduated with my degree in Psychology minor Crim and i am doing my masters in Management . i am waiting on approval to write my exam . This is excellent , i am sure that i have lots to offer the profession if given the opportunity .

So heart broken by the things doctors said to Tyler and the amount of bullying he got. Seriously ppl need more faith to help strengthen others! Parents teach your kids to respect those disable ones because life is more about what u do with it!

Youre really a hero doc" you are... Respect and salute for you doc'.. 👍😉

I guess I'm the only person who noticed that the little girl jumped on his service dogs nose

Yes, Dr. Shawn thank you for saying, we all have a disability in one form or another. It’s absolutely true❣️ You inspire me to the fullest! 🎁♥️💜

The second doctor got me crying because he truly beat the odds and happy he works here in Mississippi ima send him some more superhero shirts but of REAL superhero like Doctors, Teachers, Engineers, Dentists, Nurses, Police, Firefighters, EMTs, etc those are the real superheros ppl who makes a difference like he do!!

I need the narrator to stop interrupting

He probably gets tired less often when doing surgery

Dr. Sexton is amazing! They all are! Super inspiring! Much love

These doctors are so cool, for completely different--yet similar--reasons. Awesome.

Real life iron man... *freezes during a surgery* “Sorry guys I was lagging”

8:31 she kicked the dog, poor dog but that made me laugh 😂

I am crying with this video I just became blind because of a procedure that was performed wrong I now have these intelligence I don't know where they come from but I know it's part of that of a suffering that I have suffered injury I now want to be more successful and do more it's like my brain is working differently from before I'm very strong and I have strengths that I've never had before this doctor is the most amazing man I love to cross his path thank you for sharing

When he said we're all struggling with something, i felt that.

There is just some doctors that will discourage you and make you give up but don't let them do that to you because my grandmother was in ccu for six months the doctors kept telling us she wouldn't live through the night now she is out and live life well.

8:32 rip doggo

Love it. I believe they're so more calm and nice to people in they lives. I know so many doctors who think they're better than others and behave like this. Only the best of all have an behavior like this ❤️❤️❤️ can't explain it better

Proud to hear👍 They achieved their goals 👏 These are the kinds of doctors I would trust with my health The fact that they struggle with their abilities Shows me that they really care for their Profession And not for their pockets like other doctors in their field that only thinks about the wealth and not the patient.

"It threw him off balance" I'm so sorry but that made me chuckle

I've seen Dr. Sexton at Walmart before

Wonderful stories. I wish we still didn't have such a stigma in this country about disabilities. They can contribute and often excel over the average worker.

Thank you for giving me the motivational push to make it through my CRNA School here in Southern CALIFORNIA!

👍😍Absolutely awesome!!! God bless them all!! 💞

They’re heroes 💕

He is an incredible and strong person. Anyone can do anything they can set their minds to. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

These doctors are amazing they save lives just like any other amazing doctor! They just live a special life that makes them unique!☺️

When we allow God to work thru us, He will show His glory.

Not sure how they got Ironman from a standing wheelchair, but okay.

I work as a CNA in an assisted living facility and I have had quite a few health challenges as well as a physical and mental disability. I think that having my disabilities I can understand more of what my residents are going through and that I can be a lot more empathetic and a lot more caring then some other people who are in the same field. These doctors absolutely amaze me. I actually had a psychologist tell me at 19 but if I ever went to college I would set myself up to fail now I'm a CNA.

Makes me grateful that I’m healthy These stories are such inspiration I hope they continue living good🙂 they deserve the best

Wow. What a great guy and awesome doctor. I felt so bad when the little girl accidentally kicked the dog In the head 😢

They are so inspiring 😊❤️

Awww! Wonderful, very inspiring!!

This man is an inspiration. So great full for everything he has and never gave up!!!!

I would love to meet this person

The inspiration is real.

Excellent human being. God bless him

Love how they opened with The Good Doctor, that show is amazing

How does he clean his wheel chair and keep it sterile?

8:33 poor dog the girl stepped on him

thats cool that disability didnt have to end his career as a surgeon god bless him

We need better doctors like these two guys right here they are the true MVPs instead of judgmental and rude ones who say you cant and won't be worth it. Makes me sad to see that as long as we have these guys and more like them it's a miracle 😢

8 mins 30secs the little girl just jumps on his service dog😂😂😂

I watched the Korean drama good doctor

When people use discouraging remarks when they see pleople who have a great story pertaining to adversity- this only speaks hallmarks to your character and values. We all can’t strive without a struggle... sometimes dealing with struggles a lot of people defeat themselves and wind up a statistic... and a space to their own misery. Great video- 👍🏻

My son has autism and I tell him all the time....never give up and do your best. He hopes to be an engineer when he grows up.

This why ? We all people all live matter

Amazing !!! It wouldn't bother me one bit for surgery or any other medical help !!! Not one bit !! I'd accept any Dr that would take my LOUSY INSURANCE !! LOL

😢😭 I’m crying tears of joy & inspiration!

I LOOVVVVEEEE THE GOOD DOCTOR!! Cant wait for the new season.

8:29 poor dog

8:30 poor dog xD

I'd much rather have a doctor who literally cant see me but listens, than a doctor who can see me but doesnt listen. I'd say most of us have had an experience where it feels like your talking to a wall when talking to some doctors. Active listening is so very important for patients.

If you are a good person and smart, I don't care if your green, tou can treat me or my family! Kudos Dr. And never stop.
