Healthcare Stories: Elizabeth Grigsby

Elizabeth Grigsby

Elizabeth Grigsby lives in San Francisco, California. An advocate with a non-profit organization, she has cerebral palsy and uses a motorized wheelchair.

“Oh just relax let us do our job and when they went…to lift me you heard this loud pop in my knee.”

“…all I could do was cry…I felt so like I was being treated less than a human being.”

“They wanted to put me in a SNF [Skilled Nursing Facility]…basically where you just go and waste away.”

“My life as I knew it, was over.”

​​​

“I can’t get a full…physical examination because I can’t get on the table.”

“You’d think, okay it’s almost 2013, can we get it together.”
