blind dr. founded organization for handicapped physicians and med students

July 22, 2004

Hi, I have a new group for my deceased Dad's organization The

American Society for Handicapped Physicians. A Type I Juvenile

Diabetic, Spencer went completely blind from diabetic

retinopathy after first graduating from Harvard Medical School,

establishing his own practice in Louisiana with his wife, a midwife,

and doing good thorughout his home community. His blindness led him

to found this organization, The American Society for Handicapped

Physicians, in 1981, only one year before his death. In that short

time, he mentored, spread awareness throughout the communities, was

active with the National Federation of the Blind, and even had a

convention with former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Coop!!!

The current president is Dr. Lambert, a paraplegic. It was

founded in 1981 for physicians and medical students with any

physical or mental limitations whatsoever.

We encourage, promote, and support all physicians with any

handicaps!... We provide support, aid and mentorship to all

handicapped phsicians, medical students, residents and any child who

has aspirations to become a doctor!

Anyone can do ANYTHING they set their mind to, no matter the odds!!!

Our members have proven this time and time again, practicing

medicine blind, in wheelchairs, and deaf. Please check it out and

support this important

group!!!
