G'day Everyone.
Finally, if there was something worth waiting for, it happened. It appears in the deafness.about.com guide. This is the link to the news article below.
Link to the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle: http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20090829/NEWS01/908290331/1002/NEWS
Read it and see how interesting it is. I really hope the word gets out so that OTHER hospitals can have a deaf day with medical students so that doctors can get experience in treating deaf patients and that the deaf community gets involved with the hospitals as well.
Too long have hospitals depended on interpreters. Some doctors really need to be involved with the care of deaf patients. Especially in emergency situations as well.
Will doctors depend on interpreters or will they start using pen and paper to get the communication lines clear? Let's hope there's a better future for deaf patients in hospitals.
Semper FI.
