Deaf Veterinarians
Thursday November 5, 2009
The Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association has an interesting article on three deaf veterinarians. I even learned a new word, "auscultate," which seems to mean "listen to the animal's heart." All three developed techniques to substitute for hearing, and use modern technology and communications to enable them to do their jobs. One of them is from Rochester, New York. Now if only I could get one of them to move here to help take care of my cat.
