Does your doctor know sign or provide an interpreter?

They usually tell me they will provide an interpeter but most of the time I decline because I am not so good with ASL and I like to write things down so the docs will know what exactly what I am saying.

I could get non-ASL interpreters to interpret at the doctor's office if I asked. But I don't agree that doctors should pay for the interpreters to interpret.

How about Ubi-Duo? Looks very promising for both worlds.

Why don't you agree that the doctors office should not pay for the cost of a terp?
