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.

Title A name given to the resource <em>The Second Opinion</em> by Michael Palmer (Macmillan Publishers, 2009) Description An account of the resource <em>The Second Opinion&nbsp;</em>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.&nbsp;<br />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.
