Medical Encounters:

A Creating Options Discussion on Wednesday, April 16, 2025

Persons who are blind or have low vision, and / or those who are otherwise
disabled daily confront with a host of challenges. We can all relate to
similar circumstances but there is one community that we will encounter on a
random and often unexpected basis. That is the necessity of dealing with the
medical profession. Whether confronted with a hospital stay or even
receiving treatment and consultation at a clinic. We have an extraneous set
of circumstances to deal with. From communicating our distinct needs whether
receiving treatment, a routine medical exam or in understanding a doctor's
instructions, we have to educate all medical personnel. That blind people
need special consideration in such an environment.

We will address some of your questions and concerns in the next Creating
Options meeting to be held from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the New Mexico
Commission for the Blind's Albuquerque Field Office. Coffee and refreshments
will be served. 

Facilitators, Don and Nancy Burns
