[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1571794, member: 30007"] Except that, by asking the waiter if there is somewhere we can go to inject, we do exactly that. By asking if there is a room available, we are saying "I shouldn't be doing this in open, I should be hiding it away", which is the opposite of fitting into a society that accepts all forms of disability. If you take a disabled person into a restaurant who struggles to eat, and makes a mess while doing so, you don't say "Do you have a room where I can hide my disabled friend away", you expect that they will be accommodated in the main area of the restaurant, as the restaurant must do by law. Injecting insulin is no different. [/QUOTE]
