    Yeah but not before we cut everyone’s legs off so they can better empathise with people who use wheelchairs

      Boo. The idea is it wouldn’t be permanent.

      A better example is doctors who deal with the amputations or the paralyzed should have their legs or arms bound for a day to experience the struggle.

      When it’s a fair comparison it also sounds like a damn good idea.

      The surgeon might try harder to save that leg, the physical therapist (? Is that the right doctor) might better understand the small everyday issues their patients deal with.
