Review # 1 was written on 2010-04-05 00:00:00 Margarita Quintana I have increasing mobility problems and what I particularly got out of this book was an understanding that I am not alone in struggling over whether to consider myself "disabled" and feeling puzzled about what kinds of accommodations would be best for me. The author is a doctor who has multiple sclerosis and uses a power wheelchair. The book is thoroughly researched and draws upon many interviews with people from all walks of life who have mobility problems of various kinds. I was especially impressed at how the author balanced hard data with anecdotes to write a book that successfully addresses a wide audience. The book covers epidemiology (who has mobility problems and why), treatments, treatment programs, social programs, health insurance, various kinds of mobility aids. Iezzoni discusses in depth the systemic failures of the health industry and government and private health insurance in accommodating the needs of people with disabilities and chronic progressive conditions, and how these limitations affect people's lives. Four stars instead of five because it was published in 2003 and the resource section is somewhat out of date.
