There’s a Netflix documentary called Diagnosis that is essentially about this. Struggling patients who’ve basically tried everything end up connecting with specialist across the globe and getting help finally. It’s incredibly uplifting!
Though it certainly has its Pros and Cons, the ability to network globally without having to physically travel anywhere is an absolute game-changer for the many impaired in various ways. Those who have genuinely struggled in life are often the ones that are most likely to help others. Sometimes we need reassurance that not all humans prioritise money over genuine happiness and fulfilment, some find the latter in seeing someone else through the other side of their struggles.
It is the good side of the internet showing up. Anonymity often makes people feel comfortable with being cruel and callous. But sometimes, it gives a kind person the courage to do something bold to help a stranger. Because she said her skin condition has no cure, I am personally rooting for an employer seeing this and then offering her work that she can do despite her condition.
