| Deaf MRI technicians? |
Hello,
I'm deaf, COULD speak but I prefer communicating in American Sign Language because it means a lot less guesswork than lipreading.
I've been thinking of enrolling in a MRI program at home in Canada after I graduate from the university I am at now. I've always found it fascinating, but when I tried to ask the program director about deafness they only told me of academic supports available.
Figured this might be a good place to ask. How much of being a MRI technician involves talking to the actual patients?
There will not be interpreters available for me on a daily basis, nor do I wish to constantly use them. If there is a lot of communication with the patients themselves, is there often anyone else around (like a nurse) that could talk to them instead?
If there's anything else you might need to know before answering, can just ask away!
Thank you in advance for your answers, it'll help me figure out if this is something I'd like to pursue for certain!
