Even though I graduated from medical school, a hospital wouldn/'/t hire me.
They said they couldn/'/t hire me because I/'/d do a lot of harm.
They said I couldn/'/t be a doctor because I only have one arm.
I sued them and they were forced to hire me even though I/'/m disabled.
But when I performed an operation, the person died on the operating table.
I operated on a woman who had fifteen kids, she was going to have her tubes tied.
If I hadn/'/t been the doctor who performed the surgery, she wouldn/'/t have died.
Swift action was taken, I was fired immediately.
They had no other choice but to terminate me.
There were two important reasons why I shouldn/'/t have been part of the hospital/'/s workforce.
I only have one arm and the medical school that I graduated from was a correspondence course.
