Talk:Medical model of disability

message: I'm really not sure how to fix it but the first sentence of the lede is totally incoherent. Correct me if I'm wrong but a "medical model" in this context is a sociological term used to describe the way that doctors are trained and how they are trained to think. So this isn't a model that describes how disabilities affect people, it's actually a model that describes how the modern school of medicine shapes the way we (and more relevantly, doctors) think about disabilities. It's meant to contrast with the "Social Model". This becomes sort of clear once you read the second paragraph. But surely I'm not alone in thinking that first sentence makes absolutely no sense once you know the real context of the term?

message: Hi all, I am working on Medical model of disability and the article has a wiki-link back to this article. It seems like this article titled "Medical model" is really the "Medical model of disability". I propose "Medical model" be merged into "Medical model of disability". Am I wrong are they two different models? If not, thoughts on merging? Jackiekoerner (talk) 20:37, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Criticism section source 

message: Full disclosure: I support criticism sections and am opposed to the social model of disability, so I am super biased here. But per Wikipedia convention, the criticism section should be integrated, especially since the opposing camp's article had theirs integrated. It definitely creates an imbalance.
I'll recuse myself from other issues with the article. 2603:7081:1603:A300:909A:E3A9:FF32:C558 (talk) 21:00, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
