This is one of those moments where I really do love audits. Sitting here, reviewing policies, procedures, and files, coughing away and feeling worn out from the week’s travel, when the receptionist, I only met this morning pops in with a cup of water and a soother, asking if I’m okay.

It might be RUOK Day, but something tells me this organisation lives and breathes care every single day. In our industry, it takes caring, loving, and truly beautiful individuals to make a difference and today was a gentle reminder of just that. 💛

Awesome event held every month in the Redlands

In 2018, 22-year-old Grace Spence Green was walking through a shopping centre in London when a man landed on her and broke her spine.

The man had just jumped out of a third-floor window - and the impact left Grace paralysed from the chest down.

She woke up to find herself on the floor, with a body lying next to her. "I remember screaming and the sensation that I couldn't feel my legs," she says.

Grace was a medical student. She hadn't expected to end up as a spinal injury patient herself. But, she believes the bizarre accident has made her a better doctor.

As a trainee medic, Grace knew all about spinal injuries. Nonetheless, it took her a long time to accept what had happened to her.

"I just felt that, oh, I'm not one of them. I'm not disabled. I'm not going to be in a wheelchair. That's not me. They've got it wrong."

She often felt powerless, and unable to advocate for herself.

"It was very humbling suddenly being on the other side of the bed, how often I felt out of control of my situation, how often I felt like I didn't have any autonomy or any dignity."

She was sent to a rehabilitation unit, and gradually came to terms with the extent of her injuries. She also found camaraderie with other patients, like Vince, a scaffolder in his 40s:

"it's just a closeness that I haven't really experienced before because we've gone through this thing together, and now we call most days and he's coming to my wedding."

Grace also began to confront some of the prejudices she didn't know she'd had as a trainee medic - like the idea that disabled people had a lesser quality of life. Now, as a qualified doctor, she says her time in the spinal injury unit was the best placement she could have had:

"It taught me about dignity and autonomy... There's a real openness I find with patients, a kind of understanding I don't have to build."

As for the man who fell on her, Grace feels very little. "It feels like we were strangers, we collided, and we are just strangers again."

What she does know, is that by breaking his fall she somehow saved the man's life. So, rather than holding onto any anger towards him, she channels it into her biggest passion: advocating for change in the way society sees disabled people.
