I have worked with patients with spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries for the past 2 years and so disability is very close to my heart and I believe, a Public Health issue. There are so many things that disability tie in with Public health such as prevention i.e. wearing seat belts and helmets, as well as accessibility, for those in wheelchairs, to buildings and public events as well as parking. I spent a day in a wheelchair and realized just how many things are said to be accessible and really are just plain difficult. Disability is something everyone should think about as in a blink of an eye it could be you.
