Hi Tessa, I wouldn't like to be in cold water either. LOL. I have to admit that I'm not sure I would like being flown by a blind pilot, not yet anyway. But I'd probably have a blind doctor, depending on other things. Like bedside madner and all that. I'll try and find that book. The Doctor Will Not See You Now. Interesting title. LOL.    Debby

> As for doctors there's a book I think it's The doctor will not see you now. about a woman who was a medical doctor, I think it was here in Canada, and I believe she went through medical school blind not lost her sight after the fact. Of course there are many blind lawyers and judges and even blind politicians David? Blunket from the uk and I believe the minister of sport and disability in the federal government here is also partly blind. there are blind sailors and blind pilots though I don't think they land unassisted, years ago I wanted to create what might have been the first audio alert system for SCUBA divers so we could know without help what the depth gage said or how much oxygen was left in the tank. Never did that one LOL, decided I didn't like cold water enough to do it.

For example, I also wonder what blind folks do who are in medical professions. I know that Jacob Bolotin was a physician, for instance. But he was a physician in the earby 1900s. So I wender if there are blind folks practicing medicine now. I do have a blind acquaintance who is a chiropractor. I'"ence heard that he's very good, so if I ever decide that I need a chiropractor I would go and see him. Well, I've sure been rambly today. Maybe it's because it's Wednesday and I'm not working td.���� Debby

I'll ask a friend about blind priests, she's very much involved in the church and may have heard of some.

Yes, I know, songs are a sort of poetry, but she has foems that were never put to music. I have tried doing searches before for blind people who are doing certain things, and have not had much success, either because there aren't blind people doing those jobs or they aren't famous enough to be on Google's radar. For instance, I wanted to find out if there were any blind Catholic priests. Zilch.??? Debby

I remember reading one called mine for keeps I think the girl had cerebral polsey "i can't spell this early in the morning" Perhaps we should try to list all the blind authors, just to see how many there are and make people aware of authors they didn't know about yet.

They may have even known each other. I like reading fiction by blind authors, although I haven't seen much, except on this list. I have read lots of memoirs and all, but not much fiction. If anyone has names of blind authors who have written fiction, I'd love to hear who they might be.??? Debby
