I love it. I was lucky. I worked as a respite care worker during school
so, I got a lot of first hand knowledge about life in a household with
children with disabilities.

about Drs. ignorance:
University of Missouri at Kansas City and some voluntary organizations in KC
has a program in which med students are paired with families with children
with disabilties. Not to go to clinic visits, but to see what life is like
at
home by sharing meals and family time. This is voluntary, but med students
do
sign up. More programs in which individuals with intense medical needs are
introduced to student health professionals as people in the course of their
everyday life would be helpful.
