Title A name given to the resource Literary Representation of Doctors with Disabilities Description An account of the resource There have been very few accurate and meaningful representations of doctors with disabilities in fiction. There is a dearth of disabled doctors in literature to begin with and when they are present, the themes or disability in conjunction with their profession are not tackled productively or successfully. Through the artifacts provided in this collection, we see that even though there is great potential to set good examples of disabled doctors as part of literature and hence public imagination, the opportunities are made light of and lost when either the themes are not developed holistically or done in a fragmented manner.

Title A name given to the resource Now That You Mention It by Kristin Higgins (2017)  Description An account of the resource This novel, which revolves around a female gastroenterologist getting hit by a van leading her to being temporarily disabled and moving in with her estranged mother is another lost opportunity at exploring what it means for a doctor to be disabled. By removing the disabled doctor from the workplace and implanting her into a domestic space creates the wrongful narrative that someone disabled cannot work as a doctor and has to go on a spiritual journey to reconnect with their family and childhood mermories to find their purpose back in life.  Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kristin Higgins Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://www.kristanhiggins.com/now-that-you-mention-it Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Mahvish Nazar Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017 https://mail.dhd752groupproject.digital.uic.edu/files/original/a79bb0fb35857ae6f51a37713c1f0c6d.jpg 3456c25196dcd079ca7b72325ef05ac6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The Second Opinion by Michael Palmer (Macmillan Publishers, 2009) Description An account of the resource The Second Opinion engages with the representation of disabled doctors in two ways, albiet in a problematic manner. In the first engagement, we see Dr Sperelakis so disabled after involved in a hit and run and being comatosed that he is literally unable to perform his role as a doctor, not giving us even the slightest chance to imagine him as disabled and as a doctor.  On the other hand, we see his daughter who has Asperger's stereotyped as a savant who though is a doctor and has great cognition and photographic memory but lacks social skills, leading her to give up work in an urban American setting and instead join Doctors without Borders. This makes it appear as if being disabled makes one have to choose between their work and social life and one cannot have both, fueling the negative stereotypes around disability, especially in the medical field.

Title A name given to the resource Sea Glass Island by Sherryl Woods (MIRA Books, 2013) Description An account of the resource In the novel Sea Glass Island, we encounter the love interest of the protaonist who has some makings of a good disabled doctor representation in literature but it still has a long way to go. The doctor, who was disabled in a war zone is kind and generous and works tirelessly for disabled children but is closed off emotionally due to his disability and associated trauma. As a result, even though we see some multidimensionality here, it still plays on tropes of disabled person as saint and disabled person as tortured by their disability.  Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Sherryl Woods Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://sherrylwoods.com/book/sea-glass-island/ Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available MIRA Books Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2013 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Mahvish Nazar https://mail.dhd752groupproject.digital.uic.edu/files/original/f11ffcfcd45c9749e278cad3be9fa5d1.jpeg 481830c68c774f226740963fb13f281a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Somerset Maugham (1915) Description An account of the resource The first novel to have a representation of a disabled medical student and doctor was the 1915 novel Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham where the protagonist has a clubfoot. Following his jounery where he fumbles (used intentionally) both professionally and personally, we see Philip Carey dabbling in several professions, medicine being one of them, but never really fully engaging in any. This is shown to be not due to the physical ramifications of his disability or lack of access but due to the psychological effects of being disabled and growing up in an unloved home. As a result, even though Carey's disability is used as a prosthesis to give some body and structure to the narrative, it is never fully engaged in, losing an opportunity for a disabled doctor representation to shine through.  Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource W.
