SO TRUE! Nurses more so. Although I did see one Doctor last Oct. Turns out his kids had started a new school, and one of their classmates had deaf parents. He was so curious as to how I "hear", as I seem to have no problems understanding him (which shocked me, as he was from India and I don't do well with accents). We probably spent an hour talking about things.
I was working at a nursing home last year. I quit because it was so understaffed and an accident just waiting to happen. I let the head nurse know, she said "I figured this job would be to hard for you as your deaf". ugh, lucky for her I just wanted to get out of there. I was the best damn employee they had, someone who actually gave a rats turd about the residents.
I'm due to give birth in July. I hated the nurses for this very reason last time. I am just posting a note on the damn door saying "I'm deaf, not dumb, probably better read than your are, treat me with respect or stay the hell out". I'm too old for this crap.
