"Extra costs of living for disabled people can be over £500 per month. It is frustrating that it has taken a pandemic, mass unemployment, and the pinching of pursesstrings due to furlough wages, to finally grasp that a life on benefits is not a life of ease" Source: @DisRightsUK

Disabled people don’t ‘overcome their disability’. When disabled people succeed, what they overcome are societal barriers. Important to acknowledge and reframe in this way if we are to shift perceptions and raise awareness of what really disables people 🚫 🌎

Last night I certified far more deaths than I can ever remember doing in a single shift. The little things hit you: a book with a bookmark in, a watch still ticking, an unread text message from family. Pandemic medicine is hard.
