How do wheelchair users weigh themselves?
Manage episode 378924356 series 1301617
When Lizzie posted on Facebook that she hasn’t been able to weigh herself for 22 years, including through three pregnancies, it sparked our interest about access to scales. Gillian also told us she’s been trying to keep check of her weight during a health kick but it’s been months since she was last able to get on scales. And Dr Georgie Budd offers some thoughts and suggestions around this dilemma. We talk emotional support animals after an incident in Florida where one particularly scary example was banned from a ball game. And the cruelly named Elephant Man, Joseph Merrick, is depicted on stage like never before courtesy of young actor Zak Ford-Williams who has cerebral palsy but doesn't use prosthetics or alter his facial appearance. Recorded and mixed by Dave O’Neill. Produced by Alix Pickles, Drew Hyndman, Emma Tracey and Beth Rose. Editor is Damon Rose, and exec editor is Jonathan Aspinwall. "Alexa, play Access All from the BBC" is one way of hearing our latest show, and making sure you subscribe on BBC Sounds is another. email the presenters Nikki Fox and Emma Tracey now: accessall@bbc.co.uk
