Dr Hannah: 'I often get to emergencies first because of my speedy wheelchair' - a podcast by BBC Radio

Dr Hannah Barham-Brown made the news recently after revealing she couldn't afford the fairly modest £2,000 wheelchair she wanted but managed to raise the money through online crowdfunding in just 24 hours. She says what was being offered for free wasn’t fit for purpose.



Barham-Brown talks about navigating a busy hospital on wheels and how she is very used to talking about disability because many of her family were disabled but not with the same impairment as her, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (which she explains in fulll on the programme).She has learnt some unexpected things in 18 months of using a wheelchair, including the fact that it can make your boobs bigger.
