[stylist] descriminative against voices.

[James Canaday M.A. N6YR]

my doctor's nurse is deaf.  she just started working for him.  she 
told me during the initial exam, but I thought so because of the way 
her voice was.  it is not the pitch of the voice, but it is that 
without daily practice in hearing people talk and getting her own 
feedback from her talking, that diction suffers.  I am fairly capable 
of recognizing this.  of course, it means nothing more than that the 
speaker is deaf, to me.
I was impressed that my doctor hired a deaf woman to be his 
nurse.  she used the automated blood pressure cuff since she 
obviously couldn't put on a stethoscope and hear the artery pulsing in my arm.
