-- a big miracle for deaf to become doctors
When a deaf person finally becomes a doctor, it is
a big miracle. There was a story today of medical
schools - that only one third of these schools
are willing to help medical students that are
deaf. Two thirds of these schools "reject"
deaf applicants! They are rejected because of
their deafness, and nothing to do with their
qualifications. See the picture at:

-- Arizona too slow to give deaf 911 text access
Many deaf people retire and move to Arizona because of
warm weather and pleasant life style. Unfortunately
ease of 911 text access is not part of that pleasant
life style! As a result there is a lawsuit going on
right now at the federal court about turtle-like
speed the Arizona towns giving the deaf this 911-text
access.
