We had a workshop on Communication in Hospitals. It was attended by many specialists and nurses and few paramedics. During the inaugural session, one speaker mentioned few very crucial things...
It is always the individual perception which makes the difference in communication.
The more knowledgeable people are the ones who lack the art of a good communication, more often..
Even physically challenged ones have dignity and they should be treated at par with normal, except the fact that they need more space and specifically designed facility at various places.
It was told that once there was a conference of all physically challenged people. They all argued upon one issue.. that we are not treated properly. Some one calls physically challenged , some say disabled, some others call us handicapped,... why after all? ... How good are the so called perfect people are ?..
So, they wanted to give a name for the normal beings. A lot of arguments, suggestions and brain storming.. Finally they came with one term '' TAB". .. What does it mean ?
It means - Temporarily Able Body.
Yes, truly... no one is sure when things may change and a perfect body may turn disabled. Then why discriminate the others who are less able..
Thus, thinking before speaking is the necessity of time. Be empathetic, Be positive and be Cordial... Today someone is at need, tomorrow it may be us !
