“Once being disabled, there wasn’t a lot of information on what to do after you can’t practice what you loved and trained for. What else is there to do? I found a big void there.”
Dr. Barabara Ebel (@BarbaraEbel) is known as the “Credible Medical Fiction Writer”. Prior to her writing career, she practiced as an Anesthesiologist. Unfortunately, after losing complete use of both of her shoulders, she found herself disabled and unable to work in Anesthesia any longer.

On Disability – Barbara Ebel, M.D.
