I just found out about something that had happened very recently in my hometown. A mother very recently found out her two year old daughter is deaf. She's overwhelmed with all of the information about deafness, communication philosophies, etc. Her audiologist discussed getting a CI. The mother said she wanted to wait until she had time to sort through all of the information first (and to have time for her shock to sink in).
The audiologist went ahead and scheduled the surgery anyway. She insisted that if the mother puts off the CI, then it may be "too late" for the child. Now the mother feels pressured to proceed with the CI surgery.
What's wrong with this picture?
