On June 11th, Michael Hickson, a quadriplegic black man with COVID-19 was killed by a hospital in Austin Texas.

Doctors decided he had “no quality of life” an was not worth spending the resources to save.

The conversation between his doctor and his wife was caught on audio 1/?

[description of image: a photo of Hickson, lying in a hospital bed and smiling for the camera /description]

Doctor: So as of right now, his quality of life – he doesn’t have much of one.

Melissa: What do you mean? Because he’s paralyzed with a brain injury he doesn’t have quality of life?

Doctor: Correct.

–

Hickson was refused food or treatment for 6 days

In the YouTube video, the doctor can be heard saying “he will have lines and tubes coming out of his body… That’s not quality-of-life”

I have tubes coming out of my body. I happen to like my life. Without those tubes I’d be dead

Our definition of quality is vastly different

So, when you see me repeatedly yelling about masks, paying attention to disabled people, and you don’t understand why I tweet with passion, remember this.

I’m fighting to change culture that doesn’t see disabled life as quality. many of us are afraid and rightly so.

Please, please, please don’t sweep this under the rug. Your disabled friends are in danger.

We must unite and fight this!

His wife was not notified of his death until the next morning after his remains had already been transported to a funeral home without [Mrs. Hickson’s] permission.

“No one has offered condolences. There has never been an apology or acknowledgment of his death. It’s like they just don’t care,”
