[nfb-talk] civil rights complaint

[kaye zimpher]

I think if a sighted assistant's only purpose was to read and they did it 
well and thoroughly then they would not hinder you, but what if you had a 
reader that for some reason only skimmed over an x-ray or ano ther pertanent 
test then your ability to make a decision would be hindered by them possibly 
not knowing what they were doing or them having a bad day or some such. Food 
for thought I guess.
