1. I don't think I would consider Vitiligo a 'severe disfigurement', I would save that description for something like spina bifida.
2. When looking for the photo spread online, I came across these photos: http://www.people.com/people/package/gallery/0,,20287787_20287804_20638952,00.html http://www.people.com/people/package/gallery/0,,20287787_20287804_20638948,00.html http://www.people.com/people/package/gallery/0,,20287787_20287804_20638949,00.html If he started wearing the glove to cover up vitiligo, why is the glove on different hands in the first 2 pictures? And why, 3 years later does the third photo not show any discoloration on either of his hands? Interesting. 3. I take a lot of pride in how I cared for my patients when I was in EMS. It would take a whole hell of a lot more than some discolored skin to cause me any kind of discomfort. I could tell you about patients who I still think about or have nightmares about, but I doubt it would matter, you have already cast your judgment. If you ever need EMS, I hope you get someone who takes half as much pride in their job and caring for patients as I did in mine when I was a paramedic, because if so, you will be in excellent hands.
