DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - June 7, 2021
-- a film director became uncomfortable
DeafDigest editor thinks it is rare - that a film
director, after auditioning fake-deaf actors
for a deaf role, became uncomfortable. He
then decided to cast a deaf actor for this
deaf role - and was glad he did it! It was
for a 2017 movie.
-- deaf patient never wanted to die
A deaf patient, having communication issues
with the hospital staff, did not understand
the question - do you want to be saved
if you have a medical emergency such as
breath stopping or a heart attack? He
"agreed not to" but without realizing the
consequences. He showed the agreement
papers with his family. Naturally the
family was upset, so was the deaf
patient - and they made a big stink
out of it with the hospital staff.
ADA? No, because the hospital is
in Scotland.
-- a big ADA question
A deaf person wins a ADA lawsuit and thinks
is entitled to "millions of dollars"
award! Is he correct in thinking that
way - or did the attorney miscommunicate
with him? This is the big question:
What Do I Get If I Win An ADA Lawsuit?
