So my poor old mother who died from heart failue, and couldn't walk more than a hundred feet or so without chest pain, shouldn't have had a handicap sitcker in the last few months of her life? This has really become a forum for those who don't think.
Isn’t that the truth!
I agree with you. There are lots of forms of disabilites. To get a HC sticker or placard, a patient needs to be medically qualified. Unfortunately, too many of us are Sunday morning quarterback ‘doctors’ who can instantly diagnose another human being within the confines of a parking garage. My thought is- if you are that great of a clinician, set up an office and start seeing patients- otherwise show some tolerance for others, and thank God you don’t walk in a disabled person shoes.

Sorry about your mom, perhaps you should have gotten her a powered chair. I can’t think of too many places other than the post office where you can get something accomplished without walking more than 100 ft. Certainly not the grocery or Walmart.
If your mother couldn't walk more than a hundred feet or so without chest pain, most rational and reasonable people would conclude that she should have used a wheelchair, which use no one I know of has ever questioned. I know under those circumstances, I would.
Why, my poor old mother...
...no, I can't do it!
