RantWoman, below the quoted text, offers tart commentary:

"A Utah man is suing Pacific Northwest University Medical School in Yakima. He was all set to attend the school - but then his acceptance was withdrawn. He says the school won't accommodate him because he's deaf."

"“What their letter to Mr. Featherstone said is that the presence of qualified interpreters would threaten patients safety and disrupt the learning experience of other students, the university is just wrong on both points,” said Teplin Fox."

RantWoman comments:
--This institution could probably have saved itself a lawsuit by doing a teensy tiny amount of research to learn that there ARE in fact deaf medical practitioners, perhaps even Deaf medical practitioners who could be n a position to offer the institution helpful advice and answers to questions.

--RantWoman also finds herself nervous that any medical school is still so underinformed about a wider variety of interpreter issues discussed in the article and the comments.
