S2 Ep28: Posting on a mission to change things with disability rights activist @blinddad_uk


Listen Later

This time we're chatting to Dr Amit Patel @blindad_uk. Amit lost his sight overnight (heads up that he talks about this early in the episode) just a year after he got married.

Unable to do his old job as a trauma doctor, or move about safely on his own - Amit says he was 'saved' by the arrival of his guide dog, Kika.

Now he's a writer and speaker and disability activist using Twitter and Instagram to amplify his message. 

We talk about,

  • Amit's written a book about his story, Kika and Me: How One Extraordinary Guide Dog Changed My World.
