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. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Somerset <span style="font-weight: 400;">Maugham (1915)</span> Description An account of the resource The first novel to have a representation of a disabled medical student and doctor was the 1915 novel <em>Of Human Bondage</em> 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.&nbsp; Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource W.
