                <text>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>

              <text>In the novel &lt;em&gt;Sea Glass Island&lt;/em&gt;, 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.&amp;nbsp;</text>
