SCARING THE PHARMACIST A deaf man has problems with a pharmacist who is afraid to communicate with the deaf. The pharmacist would use body language to avoid the deaf person, write a very brief 2 or 3 word note and then walk away. Tired of pharmacist avoiding the deaf person, he took control. He barked at her in loud voice, with facial expressions and gestures. It worked. The pharmacist no longer avoided the deaf person!
