  3. Reactions

  4. Panelists • Dennis Berg – husband • Tim Buel – husband

  5. Imagine:You have a Deaf cancer patient. Suddenly she gets unbearable pain and has to go to the ERWhat do you think is her BIGGEST worry?

  6. Will the interpreter understand me? • Will I understand the interpreter? • Will the interpreter understand the medical information? Interpreter? WHO? On time? Not leave early?

  7. Stories and Language: Patient Judy • This was a critical appointment in terms of the research related to getting the patient to start taking medication. • Based on what you saw and heard, how did the patient feel? • How did the doctor feel? • How would you rate the listening/telling tasks of patient & provider? • What got in the way? • Can you identify any unspoken subtexts? • What information surfaces in the parking lot after the appointment? • Was there anything the patient said that “surprised” you or made you wonder what she meant? • What did the doctor to do to try to bridge the communication gap? • Did you ever wonder if the interpreter really signed what was said?

  8. Sue Mahler • Oral education • Voice – comprehensible? • Sister and doctor

  9. Sue: The story unknown to her doctor • American Sign Language is a language. • Signed English (using signs in English word order) is not a language but a mode of communication. • Less common modes include cued speech and the Rochester (NY) method, which is almost solely made up of fingerspelling • The oral method has been a source of dispute for over 100 years. It focuses solely on lipreading and speech. Oral schools still exist and in some, any use of hands (signing) is strictly forbidden. • How does the interpreter make it clear who is speaking? • Sue signs sometimes and speaks sometimes. • The interpreter is forced to use signed English and also “mouth” words to adjust to an oral Deaf person. • Do you notice any point where it might NOT be clear to Sue whether it is the doctor or her sister who is speaking?
