Claudia I. Martinez, MD has an important message for health care providers with disabilities


"The otoscope and ophthalmoscope are two tools I haven’t been able to use. The residual weakness in my hands from my stroke still lingers and my grip strength is poor. Bc of this I drop everything I carry in my right hand and often those I carry in my left hand as well."

"Being able to see into my patient’s ears, mouth and eyes is very important. In therapy we often tie my hand with an ace bandage wrap so I won’t drop what I’m holding, but needing another person to follow me and literally tie my hand to each tool for me while I’m seeing each patient just isn’t practical. Bc of @eazyhold I’m now able to get this same effect and can use these tools on my own."

"The world isn’t built for individuals with a disability, but thanks to adaptive equipment such as @eazyhold we have a chance to make things around us accessible and not allow our disability to handicap us in every aspect of our lives."
