Notă biografică

Grace Spence Green is a junior doctor working to challenge the narratives surrounding disability, medicine and identity. In 2018, aged 22 and a 4th year medical student, she sustained a spinal cord injury and is now a full-time wheelchair user. Since her life-changing injury, Grace has become a passionate advocate for the disabled community, appearing in the BMJ and Guardian, and across TV and radio.

Recenzii

Essential reading. Grace combines humour, warmth and grit to tell a story that would make anyone reflect on their own sense of self and the nature of injury and healing
A beautiful, powerful, immersive read
A wonderfully intricate, heartfelt account of the blurred line between patient and doctor. Inspiring and life-affirming
Lucid, hopeful and fierce, this book is completely transformative
Grace said she made the decision not to hold out for a cure or "for my legs to wake up ... life was for living now". Surrendering to what happens to us, to find joy and meaning in spite of it, is the bravest and most wise choice we can make and this book is an extraordinary one to inspire just that
A book of wisdom and love, trauma and acceptance, extraordinary resilience and justified anger, it'll change the way you think about disability. Stop whatever it is that you're reading and read Grace Spence Green instead
Unputdownable, awe-inspiring, necessary. The best book I've read by a doctor in a very long time
Having also been through spinal cord injury, this is the best personal account of that trauma. I kept wanting to underline sentences because they are so true and so beautiful
To Exist As I Am upends the familiar tropes of the rehab memoir, and gives us something perceptive and new ... Valuable, insightful and beautifully written
Exquisitely written and compelling, this book tells the story of a remarkable doctor. By the end it will have upended the preconceptions many of us hold as to what it is to lead a rich, fulfilled life
