I sat down with my friend and colleague Diana Cejas, MD, MPH with no agenda...we just talked in the spirit of enacting change via story telling.

I hope you listen. I hope you share it. I hope you let Dr. Cejas know what her story means to you. ❤️

#MedTwitter #DocsWithDisabilities

The incredible writer, physician and advocate Diana Cejas, MD, MPH everyone!!

As a fellow aspiring medical student with #CerebralPalsy , this was so dishearting to hear and see. This is why the work of: The DocsWithDisabilities Initiative , Medical Students with Disability & Chronic Illness , Stanford Medicine ADIE , Disability Advocacy Coalition in Medicine , and others is so important. I hope she can find a place willing to make the necessary accoms.

I'm a Black disabled woman. I survived cancer, a stroke, trauma, chronic pain. So there's a (not so small) part of me that can't believe that I get to wake up everyday & take care of other disabled folks. But I do. I talked about that & a lot more with the incomparable Lisa M Meeks, PhD, MA

Nice to see that I, a doctor who survived cancer and who routinely works with immunocompromised children, plus all of those children and everyone else who still wears masks in public count as 'mobs and criminals' for wanting to protect ourselves from illness in my home state.

Great job from RUSH University Nursing Faculty Barbara Shaw and Stacey M. Carroll, PhD, RN, ANP-BC
