Deaf veterinarians pave their own way - "A common misperception is that deaf people are lazy when they are not good at reading lips & facial expressions. 'It becomes easy for most hearing people to forget that for a deaf person, it can be difficult to communicate with just about every person they meet every day,' Dr. D...odge said. 'Many times, deaf people are just brushed off with an oversimplified explanation or 'it doesn't matter.'' This can cause frustration, she said, because it creates anxiety that another situation will come up in which the deaf person is either going to be shunted off to the side or have to make decisions on the basis of inadequate information. Simply making more of an effort to communicate is greatly appreciated." http://www.avma.org/onlnews/javma/nov09/
