Story: Ableism in the Hospital

Every descent into the medical system for disabled folks, for everyone really but not equally, risks dehumanization. I wrote a story for Pacific Standard about one such case.

When @HennyKtweets went to the hospital, instead of getting help, she was mis-diagnosed with an intellectual disability then systematically dehumanized. I am grateful to her for sharing her story. From @PacificStand - https://t.co/jnP0jurYpi
