Feminist Fridays #43: Caring for the Terminally Ill

Diagnosed with polio when she was one, Dr Felicia Chang's nerves were damaged by the virus, which impacted the ability of her right leg to grow. Overcoming great self-loathing and bitterness brought on by dealing with her condition, Dr Felicia is now a fun-loving, palliative doctor who has devoted her life to helping terminally ill patients live out their final days in comfort, and to providing the right support to the caregivers. She joins us to share her story.
