Ep93: The Medical vs Social Model of Disability. Part 1

Updated 10/2023. Like all things in life, there are many perspectives and ways of looking at disability and the social, political, cultural, and economic factors that define it. Two of the main models are the social model and the medical model, which we have a general discussion about today. We will take a deeper dive into the 2 models and how we feel they relate to endometriosis in part 2. CONNECT WITH US!
