[humanser] Questions About Jobs in Health Care!

[Cheryl Wade]

Listers,


I know of another person who is blind and is a physical therapist. I 
remember "back in the day" when programs wouldn't even let a blind 
person in.


And here, just for fun, is a quote by Dr. Jacob Bolotin, Chicago's 
famous "blind doctor."



"Well, is there anything so remarkable about it? Because a man has no 
eyes, is it any sign that he hasn't any brains? That is the trouble with 
the world
and the blind man. All the blind man asks is fair play. Give him an 
equal chance without prejudice, and he generally manages to hold his own 
with his more
fortunate colleagues."
