The Story Of Dr. John Langdon Down - The Man Who Changed Down Syndrome Forever

Thanks for being here for another episode of Make It To Midnight!! This weeks episode of Make It To Midnight we learn more about the man who Down Syndrome was named after and how he changed the way people view disabilities. He took the leap in the 1800s to accept and build relationships with people who had disabilities while everyone else was trying to hide them for the world. His approach was similar to Patch Adams, the famous doctor who opened a free health care center revolved around treating the person rather than the disease. These stories always catch my attention because it's an individual who went against the status quo, believed in himself, and changed world because of it. I hope everyone enjoys this episode and keep making it to midnight!!
