If the interpreting services were already paid for that day, I wonder why the doctor walked out?
Aside from the fact that the doctor is legally required to see and treat your sister, I don't know if I would feel comfortable going back to that same doctor if she has such a bad attitude. Going to a doctor is stressful enough, but going to a doctor that has a hostile attitude is even worse.
I hope your sister can get the good medical services that she needs.
Also, if you know which service provided the interpreter, you might want to have a chat with them about what happened.

That is why, many Deaf people went to E.R. instead of seeing the doctors due to lack of interpreters. E.R. defineitly provider an interpreters from the hospitals.
I can see why Deaf people are very furious and frustrated not able to understand with their medical doctors. Doctors or Attorneys would not provider an interpreter for the Deaf clients/patients.
I am so SICK of hearing this for years !! Itself ADA 1990's, it needs to be change new session for the specialist Deaf people (only) than rest of other disabilities.
