Disability: Woman in wheelchair called ‘an odd shape’ by doctor

A woman who uses a wheelchair has said she was called “a very odd shape” by a doctor while having a smear test.

Kat Watkins, 37, from Swansea, also said that the consultant assumed that she was not having sex because of her disability.

“I’ve been fighting for the last 37 years to get through barriers and they’re still there. So for me they’re more than just barriers, it is a constant battle,” she said.

Swansea Bay health board said it would be happy to discuss Ms Watkins’s concerns with her.
