The Checkup with Doctor Mike · She Doesn't Want To Cure Her Blindness | Molly Burke · 12 Oct 2025 podcast

What's that like?

Perhaps this is a question from my lack of knowledge.

Can a person who is dating as a blind person be superficial?

How so?

That's really cool.

Uh, are there people in the YouTube comments that ask you questions that actually you get excited to answer?

And what are those questions?

In terms of the medical model and my education,

For me, I think about it so holistically because I'm a family medicine doctor and I don't just treat one organ like let's say a cardiologist does.

They get very zoned into thinking about the health of that organ and making sure it's performing perfectly.

But being a family medicine doctor, I have to really zoom out and think about how every organ interacts with every other organ, how it interacts with mental health, how it interacts with the social situation, cultural situation, friendships, work, all of these dynamics.

So for me, when people discuss medical versus social in terms of disabilities,

To me, it's not one or the other, just like you said.

It's gonna be different for each individual based on A, how that disability impacts their life, B, their past experiences that have shaped their perception of their disability, and C, also what they want.

Because some people know the risks of a certain activity.

For example, I'm a doctor that boxes professionally.

It's terrible for your health to get punched in the head.

I don't recommend that to anyone.

And yet I'm doing it.

So while it can come off hypocritical, we need to understand that you can have two simultaneous beliefs that seem like they're in contradiction to each other.
