[nfb-talk] civil rights complaint

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Good one Dar;
Not all doctors read xrays.  The one who takes them, gives a report.
Same with an MRI and cat scan.  Why couldn't he have a partner to read
the films and have a talking computer to read the reports, just like a
doctor does.  Some doctors even dictate their reports and make their
secretaries type them, as if they were not caple to type.  Most likely
it is because of time.
I hope the blind person in practice can help this person.

Terry Powers

You would think if a person gets a job for massage and needs to take the

training, then the chiropractor training shouldn't be that far off base.
You would need to get someone to help read the film of pictures taken to

know the damage of the persons problems.
