It Takes More Than Medicine
If one were to look at the roster of physical handicaps, one would reach the 
somber conclusion that the list is long one. Included would be stunted 
development of an arm or leg due to a birth anomaly. Others would be the results
of a crippling disease which has caused muscles atrophy. The list would go on
with illnesses and injuries maim or debilitate. Modern medicine has done much 
to ameliorate the physical problems. However, there are an inordinate number of
problems of the handicapped which have still to be alleviated. People are not
usually callous, but in some perverse way they have the propensity to repress 
any concerns with the physically handicapped. The social problems seem to be
inherent in our own attitudes.
