Dr phil; check out the documentary called Murderball -- <grin> turbocharged chairs for sure! :-)

Green; Ah. In which case, then, I am sure I disagree. From said examples, I clearly see inconsiderate behavior. But I have read of no inconsiderate behavior motivationally rooted solely in the hearing ability (or lack therein) of the "victim." And certainly not enough to support a conclusion...

Green; I was unclear. I don't disagree with the people can be inconsiderate part. I think I may disagree with the "it is because we are deaf/HOH" part. That was the part I was hoping you could elaborate on?

Green; you said: "Hearing people say inconsiderate things to everyone, but when it is aimed towards us deaf/HOH people, it is usually because we are deaf/HOH." My first inclination was to disagree, but before I decide, I was hoping you would say more. Can you elaborate? Or say it in a...

Ta Botti! I'll check out what the AAFP, NEJM, and JAMA have to say too! :-)

Hi Purple; So thinking on this, I wondered if I ever did something similar talking about my "boys" (who are not actually mine, and who are men now - but, golly, I watched them grow up and it is hard for ME to transition <wink>). I'm pretty sure i have. Why? Well, one of the gents, we will...

Botti: Huh. Then I best get to reading more on it, eh? :-) I would have put diabetes, macular degeneration, and cataracts on the top of the list for leading causes of acquired blindness. But that would be an estimate based on what I see in clinic. I appreciate the insight!

Botti: Histoplasmosis? Were you a cave-diver? Bat exposure? I am sorry to hear that you have been ill. I must admit that your diagnosis sent me to "PubMed." I know of histoplasmosis as a lung disease, but was not aware that there is an isolated ocular manifestation possible. For the...

Thank you! And.... Well, we wouldn't want to give away any secrets. You ladies can thumb-war or rock-paper-scissors for the 'vintage' title, if you wish. <wink>

That's great! Good luck to her! Is she sub-specialized? I am really fortunate that this year, my first year of residency, I have gotten to work with the very best nurses. They've really been amazing teachers and colleagues. In medical school, I was in a big city and I didn't much like...

A resident, yes. You? PS: love the owl sock! <grin>

Yes. But you already SAW your doctor. One presumes he ruled out the "alarm" diagnoses that can cause night-time headaches that wake patients from sleep. If Kelly has not seen a doctor, these things need to be ruled out. Regardless, I wish you luck and best of health until things are better...

Wishing you all a nice evening!

Yes, in theory, a patient can have both. They are caused by two different processes and involve different parts of the hearing/balance mechanisms. In a similar way, a patient can have both arthritis and a broken bone. See? More importantly, if you are having headaches that wake you from...

<Snort> LOL! Golly, I hope *I* haven't written anything like that! Probably have, tho. <sheepish grin>

Lol!

Deafdrummer; I am afraid someone confused you about diabetes. You have some info right. But the info about insulin and pancreas and sugar and fat and fruit and digestion is not right. Close, but not right. The details are wrong. And they are really important. Especially in Diabetes...

Bob is a hearing person. He has never met a Deaf or deaf person. He is always around hearing people. When he meets a Deaf person for the first time, he is AFRAID. Really afraid. He does not want to be mean. He does not want to say something stupid. He does not want to offend anyone. This...

Way to go, Liz! The first two years of med school are hard, but everything gets better in the clinical years! Best of luck!

UNYTruth; I beg to differ in opinion. Or at the very least ask you to present your evidence. Please site your source for the conclusion: "The brain process works differently with Deaf people because of hearing." What peer-reviewed journal did you get this data from? Is there PET scan or MRI...
