The relationship between individuals with disabilities and their medical providers can be especially fraught. One might assume that the medical system, because of its familiarity with people with atypical functioning, would have developed greater than average sensitivity to the concerns and needs of patients with disabilities. The chapters in this section, however, show that the reality is more complicated. The authors document a system that has not yet internalized disability as a “mere difference” and correspondingly reflects some of the most problematic aspects of disability as “bad difference.” Three of the chapters then consider how the application of a different framing of disability would improve the medical system by creating fairer policies, refining the clinician–patient relationship, and even changing the physical landscape of the clinic.
