Nearly one in four adults lives with a disability—but in medicine, disability is often treated as something to "fix" rather than understand.
Hạ and Laurel discuss disability in medicine—what the word actually means, why it matters, and how it manifests in both medical training and patient care. From neurodiversity and trauma-informed practice to the ableism built into training systems, the conversation explores how rethinking disability can make medicine more compassionate, inclusive, and human.
