A great accessibility solution from Dr. Purdy! However it shouldn't be the burden of individuals to make their environment more accessible. Healthcare needs universal design!

What a Paralympic debut for Dr. Julia Hanes. She had the Paralympic record in her classification before he was surpassed by the next competitor. She finishes 8th overall in the javelin F33. A doctor. Wheelchair basketball. Para ice hockey. Wheelchair rugby. She does it all.
