He's not going to intertwine both his "legs" with you while cuddling.

He's not going to get on his knees for you with ease.

He literally walks like he has to account for his missing limb to maintain balance.

He's not going get up in the middle of the night without struggle because his prosthetic isn't on while sleeping.

He's mostly likely not going to be standing up while showering. Shower chair and inbuilt hand rails will most likely be apart of the shower.

He's not going to go up and down stairs with ease.

He has restricted mobility.

He could use crutches, wheelchairs, prosthetic, etc. Mode of movement around the house could be hopping, crawling, etc. Who knows 🤷‍♀️

There's probably a lot more I'm missing or things that aren't exactly correct but it's better than excluding his disability.

Y'all dont have to be an expert what life is like for an amputee or have experienced what it's like to include the fact he is one.

For those who didn't clock it in season one or see season finale here it is 👇

we’ve heard maul toss around the word “hate” countless times but wow it hit different when he aimed it at himself

It's why she was so kind to the woman whose kid locked himself in the hot car. She understands what a life can look like for someone with brain damage, in the kid's case from a high fever and dehydration, but she also understands how much that irreversible damage to the brain isn't a stop-all/end-all. She's a DOCTOR with a brain injury. She finished med school and survived a terrorist attack on a hospital during her time in Kabul. She speaks several languages, all while modestly claiming she only speaks "enough to get by". She's a mother, who herself understands the fear that one detrimental mistake on her part, as life is as a parent, can cause her kid to get hurt.

It also explains her interest in AI and "speeding up" the E.R. with timely charting. The smoother the E.R. runs with patient portals, the less likely someone is to make a mistake on their charts, and for her especially, the less likely it is for the E.R. to go up in flames while she has an absence seizure.

This is also why she's insistent on proof-reading, even while using AI transcriptions, because if Al-Hashimi is anything, it's thorough.

She's a doctor who is always trying to get back more time, to reclaim the crucial moments she's afraid of losing or missing because of symptoms out of her control.

She wishes she could spend more time with her son. She wants every patient to be able to advocate for themselves and the long wait times for tests. She wants Robby to get off her back so she doesn't lose everything if a seizure inevitably comes while at work.
