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

And she said, okay, then I don't need to tell you anything else about what we're doing.

Ask the patients, don't assume.

Ask them, do you wanna know about this?

Do you want to know about treatment options and research?

Or do you just want me to tell you about resources, about rehabilitation, about the community?

Doctors only give us pamphlets about medical treatments.

They don't give us pamphlets about adaptive skiing.

Why not?

Because rebuilding your life starts immediately.

Treatments and cures don't.

And

One thing that was really difficult for me when I went blind is that growing up in Canada, where I'm from originally, there is no medical intervention when you go blind.

You are sent to a charity.

So immediately, we have a spinal cord injury.

You're sent down the hall at the hospital to rehab, to OT, to PT.

When you go blind, you're sent to a charity who is supposed to give you all the resources you need.

ROT and PT is through charity.

So you're immediately a charity case, which holds a lot of stigma for a lot of people.

So a lot of people who go blind don't seek help.

They do not get O&M training to learn how to use a white cane.
