I am in the US but back in 2012 I had a doctor refuse to sign disability forms for me because I was “too young and pretty” to be disabled (I was in my early 40s and had been working 25 years already so idk) and “How can you be disabled when even Steven Hawking worked?” That made me laugh in his face. I asked him if he thought I had the same brain and skills as Steven Hawking. He ignored my question. I got a new doctor.

A great article and so sadly realistic.
