In this special episode of the ASH Podcast, we sit down with Abdullah Haris: a fellow incoming med student at TMU- as he shares his story of living with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) for the very first time publicly. Abdullah opens up about being recently declared legally blind, navigating stigma, and finding strength in visibility. We also dive into what RP is, the importance of advocacy, and the hope emerging from new research. This conversation isn’t just about a diagnosis. It’s about resilience, identity, and the future of medicine through a more inclusive lens.
