This week is @StanfordMed’s first ever Inclusion Week. Lots of great programming, including today’s amazing talk from @PetePoullos about disability in medicine. He shared the events leading up to the day he had a bike accident and became paralyzed from the neck down.

He shared how, on the day of the injury, on top of the devastating physical injury, he was catastrophizing (his word) about losing all his friends and family as well as the manual skills he had honed as a GI fellow.

He shared his journey in the early days after his injury, showing us what it was like to learn how to steer a wheelchair with his chin and work day in and day out to try to learn how to do things many of us take for granted—eating and standing.
