Here is my two cents...everytime we have a war medical treatments advance rapidly and now we're seeing that situation with Iraq and Afghanistan. We can "fix" you so not as many die but become members of the disability community.
The Walter Reed Medical Museum on the grounds of the hospital (soon to move) is a real eye opening experience of how the Korean and other wars advanced things like dialysis. Then while it wasn't too long ago not many lived past 100 that seems to be a growing rapidly number today. And some like my 94 year old girlfriend still like to travel and need just a little accomodation.
thanks for posting this. it is about time that people started paying attention to the disabled traveler. and, yet, each of us has such unique disabilities that no one program can cover it all. fantastic start - bravo to sydney!
