Well, not all deaf people want an interpreter with them at the doctor's office. Accents are hard to understand for anyone. I think the best thing to do is have one of their medical assistant talk for easier lip reading if that's what you prefer or change doctors and ask for one that doesn't have an accent because it's hard for you to understand with your hearing loss--so they don't think you're being racist or something. If you want an interpreter that is your choice. I don't think whatdidyousay! is stupid. It may just be she doesn't want one at the doctor's office. It was wrong of the doctor to talk in his ear and needs to be educated.
I still have some people who ask if they can record conversation so I can hear them later lol So funny the things people think might help deaf people hear better. Better not get off topic now...
