That is undoubtedly the desirable outcome of 'politicizing' people. But
I'm not sure that constructing some supposedly evil thing called the
"medical model", against which we can rail, is a good mechanism for
achieving it.
Let me stick my neck out here... What about people for whom disability
IS a personal tragedy? What about someone with a spinal cord compression
resulting from rapidly advancing, incurable cancer? Palliative care
doctors (belonging to the evil medical system) are vital, valued sources
of support and hope.
