They Asked If She Was There for an Appointment. She Was the Doctor.
Kendra Hebert had never seen a visibly disabled physician and has often questioned whether there was a place for her in medicine. In this CBC First Person piece, she writes about what it is like to show up fully prepared and still be mistaken for a patient. It is a story about assumptions, about persistence, and about what it means to become the representation you never had growing up. A quietly powerful read from a Canadian voice that deserves a wider audience.
