Cal and Cathy welcome Kelly Mack to the podcast for a discussion about living with a disability, and how healthcare workers can best support their clients who are living with a disability. And, of course, some talk about the mistakes humans and healthcare workers make. Plus, one of the best public transport stories we've ever heard.
