It's official. After 3 months of back and forth, a major medical provider has elected to drop me as a patient for not having a Google or Apple device.It is unclear if this is legal, but it is very clearly discriminatory and unethical.

Itโs been 5 months since Australian Story aired an episode on NV Access founders, Mick Curran & Jamie Teh. The first Australian Story episode to be audio described.

You can still watch the Australian Story episode, with Audio Description, on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i7gkN-1sAI&t=1s
