Here are my demands after watching things that happened to deaflinuxgeek (Kim):
1. They need to have more people who know ASL than just interpreters. We once had a signing nurse and Kim got helped faster because the nurse could talk to her directly while she was waiting for the interpreter.
2. If a deaf person is having a heart attack, are they going to have to wait 5 extra hours for an interpreter before they get helped?! Seriously, we had to wait that long once because the interpreter didn't show up for a loooong time.
3. Kim has lost her interpreter multiple times because of her lipreading abilities. Another deaf person has come in and they give the interpreter to that person and leave Kim without one because of her lipreading ability. THIS PRACTICE NEEDS TO STOP. If she didn't need an interpreter, she would not have asked for one.
4. Audiologists need to stop looking at deafness as a "profound senorineural hearing impairment" that needs to be treated and realize that some people don't mind being deaf.
There are more, but that is my rant for now.
