SCARY GESTURES AT DOCTOR'S OFFICE A deaf man brought his hearing wife to the doctor's office for a routine operation. The wife entered the operating room and the door was shut. The deaf man had to wait outside. Suddenly a medical assistant came out of the room (but quickly shut the door). She was gesturing with another medical assistant. It was not sign language but the gestures looked like if the wife had problems during the operation. Hearing people in the waiting room could hear the conversation. Deaf person in the waiting room was scared something serious happened to the wife. Fortunately the operation was fine.
