People Often Get Unsolicited Advice from Doctors!

The AB 2072 opponents have the legitimate reason to be skeptical of audiologists and doctors. Just read on and find out WHY!

More and more hearing patients experienced such an unsolicited advice from their own doctors nowadays beyond their given roles or duties.

So the opponents of the AB 2072 bill do not imagine anything at all! Look at the enclosed article from the USA Today to see how and why the opponents have the legitimate reason to oppose the AB 2072 bill based on their personal and professional experience dealing with deaf kids.

The licensed audiologist really could say nothing to parents of deaf babies/kids, but shown hir own body language or give some hints beyond the legal definition of the given law. Many people know how to find some loopholes around the law anyway. People could be very clever to get away with the law.

For example, the assigned primary doctor in Florida rudimentary signed in ASL to me at the end of our very first appointment - "I WANT SEX WITH YOU" with big grin last February 2010. That really appalled and disgusted me due to his unethical and unprofessional behavior. I left off in real shock! That very good-looking doctor in his early 30s crossed over the line.

Guess what? I was put in very awkward postiton since I just got the health care coverage and don't know what to do. I was going to file the complaint against that doctor. I decided to give the very same doctor another chance due to my "heart of gold". The doctor did make another inappropriate remark like pointing out to hairy-chested guys from the magazine left on the doctor's office on my third visit. I just nodded with very cool head.

Before seeing the doctor for very first time, the office staffers did inquire me whether I am gay or not. I replied "What is to do with the medical visit?" The staffers gave me a poke face and gulped. I was very shocked to learn that I was being screened for my sexual preference to see that doctor. Jesus Christ!

Another incident with different Florida doctor which the first "gay" doctor willingly refer me to see the "leg" doctor due to my past auto accident. I need the specified othropedetic support for the right leg.

Guess what? The leg doctor looked at me like a piece of meat and licked his tongue. He came to me and grabbed my buttock, then rubbed my belly and patted on my chest with his glittering eyes. The doctor had a wife! I was totally stunned about another doctor done inappropriate touchings on me.

I found out about the real incompetence of Florida state medicine board from disciplining the licensed Florida doctors anyway.

http://citizen.org/publications/publicationredirect.cfm?ID=7652

California have the lowest rate of serious disciplinary actions against doctors! Look at the enclosed link above!

Another similar occurrence to me in Washington, DC at the George Washington University Hospital. The medical male student intern was assigned to do the annual physical examination. He examined me thoroughly until he seen my male genital. That suddenly aroused the very good-looking intern. He did give me his email address with seductive smile. I was also shocked about him being unethical and unprofessional.

Few weeks later, I came to the hospital for another appointment. Guess what? The very same medical student intern approached me and asked me how come I did not write him an email message at all. I simply told him "Jesus Christ!". The medical student intern gave me his puppy look. I left with rolling eyes in disbelief!

I would be not surprised at all about audiologists to find some way to give and pressure parents of deaf babies and kids. Many medical patients or parents of deaf babies and kids really are not familiar with the existing laws or the "supposedly to do" professional and ethical conducts among the medical profession.

One nurse in Boston did hug me out of blue. Another nurse at the U.S. Senate's infirmary room hugged me pretty long in the early 1990s. I was dumbfounded when I was just only 24 years old. I asked that infirmary nurse why she done such thing. The nurse wrote "You are so adorable!" I said "Uh-huh".

See that???? The medical profession are not to trust at all. :(

Karen Kingrey Urge Us to Stop Whining, Start Real Action!

Just do a favor for Karen Kingrey, the West Virginia School for the Deaf. She is a big-time Deaf activist herself. Karen know many important people in her life. She usually get things done!

Here is her Facebook message at her urge and with her permission, too -

• 

  Karen Kingrey Yes, I see the deaf people kept talking about NO to CI. Where are our action? I wonder why we, the deaf people not protest at FDA and State Medical Associations on the sidewalks and make the noises. I strongly believe we should act more than talking. Look at ADAPT. they blocked the city busses from running cuz they were not accessible to the riders in the wheelchairs. They made impact and changed. We can change if we, the deaf people protest and made the change.

Real Fishy About AB 2072's So-Called Advisory "Stakeholder " Group

The revised AB 2072 bill with 16 amendments back to last August 2nd, 2010 is much worst than the original bill. It is definitely written by the lobbyists vested in the cochlear implant companies and AVT schools.

Look at the faction from one amendment in concern for the so-called stakeholder "advisory group" -

(c) (1) The department shall convene an advisory stakeholder panel
to contribute to the development of the informational pamphlet
required pursuant to subdivision (a). The members of the panel shall
receive no compensation for their services, but shall be allowed the
actual necessary traveling expenses incurred in the discharge of
their duties. The panel shall be composed of eleven members, as
follows:
  (A) An adult who is deaf or hard of hearing, and who uses
auditory-oral language, appointed by the Governor.
  (B) An adult who is deaf or hard of hearing, and who uses visual
language, appointed by the Governor.
  (C) An educator of the deaf in an auditory-oral educational
setting, appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules.
  (D) An educator of the deaf in a visual language education
setting, appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules.
  (E) A parent representative of a child who primarily uses
auditory-oral communication methods, appointed by the Governor.
  (F) A parent representative of a child who primarily uses visual
language, appointed by the Governor.
  (G) A representative of a nonprofit organization that services
primarily auditory-oral learners, appointed by the Speaker of the
Assembly.
  (H) A representative of a nonprofit organization that services
primarily visual language learners, appointed by the Speaker of the
Assembly.
  (I) A researcher engaged in the study of auditory-oral
communication for persons who are deaf or hard of hearing, appointed
by the Governor.
  (J) A researcher engaged in the study of visual language and
communication modalities for persons who are deaf or hard of hearing,
appointed by the Governor.
  (K) The Secretary for Education, who shall be an ex officio
member.
  (2) (A) All members of the panel shall be appointed no later than
January 1, 2012. An appointee to the panel shall not serve for more
than five years.
  (B) No member of the panel may have a financial relationship or a
conflict of interest with any entity that has contributed funding
pursuant to subdivision (f).
  (3) Subject to subdivision (f), the panel shall commence
operations on January 1, 2012. The panel shall provide
recommendations to be included in the pamphlet developed pursuant to
subdivision (a) six months after the panel commences operations.
Every two years thereafter, the department shall review the pamphlet
and shall revise the information, if the department determines that
new or revised information is necessary. At the request of the
department, the panel may be asked to reconvene to review updates and
changes to the pamphlet. The panel shall then have three months to
review and provide additional recommendations to the department.
  (4) The department and the panel shall consider written input and
information submitted by members of the general public in the
creation of the pamphlet.
  (d) The panel shall remain in existence until January 1, 2017.
  (e) The pamphlet developed pursuant to subdivision (a) shall be
made available in Cantonese, English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. The
pamphlet developed pursuant to subdivision (a) shall be made
available on the department's Internet Web site and the
Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Board's Internet Web site.
  (f) (1) There is hereby created the Language and Communication for
Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children Fund in the State Treasury. The
fund shall contain donations that have been collected and deposited
for the purposes of this section, as well as any federal funds made
available for purposes of this section. Notwithstanding Section
16305.7 of the Government Code, the fund shall also contain any
interest and dividends earned on moneys in the fund. No entity may
contribute moneys to this fund that participates in a lobbying
activity or has a financial relationship or any other conflict of
interest, with, any appointed panel members, or that stands to
benefit financially from the outcome of the pamphlet development. No
state funds shall be used to implement this section.
  (2) Subject to paragraph (3), moneys in the Language and
Communication for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children Fund shall be
available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for the
implementation of this section.
  (3) No moneys shall be expended from the fund until the Director
of Finance determines that sufficient money is in the fund to
implement this section. If sufficient money is in the fund, the
Director of Finance shall file a written notice thereof with the
Secretary of State. Subdivisions (a) to (e), inclusive, shall not be
implemented until moneys in the fund are appropriated for purposes of
this section.
  (g) Notwithstanding subdivision (c) of Section 124116, as used in
this section, "department" means the State Department of Education.

The creation of advisory board is definitely controlled by the hearing people, 
no possibility of "average citizen being given such opporunity to serve on the 
advisory board. Why the individuals ought to be appointed by the Governor and the 
Senate Rules Committee (Tony Mendoza serve on this standing committee. Remmy my latest 
blog posting?)

How Ironic for the AB 2072 Supporter Wrote This Blog Posting in 2007

Accidentally stumbled into the staunch AB 2027 supporter's past 2007 blog posting about the severity of misdiagnosis of deaf people over decades. Guess who???? What a major hypocrite he is!

Here is the link (I urge many of you download or copy/paste to keep the evidence of this blog posting to keep the blogger from deleting the blog posting) - http://blog.deafadvocacy.org/2007/07/major-misdiagnosis-deaf-people-trapped.html

Tony Mendoza, the AB 2072 Guy Is a Dirty Pol!

The California media outlets reported on Assemblyperson Tony Mendoza from time to time in regard to the issue of his ethical conductiveness as an elected official.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/california-politics/2010/05/six-lawmakers-quizzed-by-state-ethics-enforcer.html

First of all, the Los Angeles Times reporter and people in general, questioned Tony Mendoza's intention with the teacher salaries bill. Many people considered
such an unncessary situation to bring up the bill. Others seen Mendoza doing the "conflict of interest" stuff since his wife was the main reason for the teacher salaries bill.
http://articles.latimes.com/2008/apr/05/local/me-payroll5

Tony Mendoza was in the pocket of supermarket retailers trying to avert the existing law. He and several California lawmakers received a lot of million dollars for their war campaign chests. Mendoza ever want to allow the wine tasting at the gas stations!
http://www.thereporter.com/wirenews/ci_15710361

http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_15696973?nclick_check=1

Mendoza got the heat about the taxpayers footed his car use -

Tony Mendoza is serving on handful of standing committees for the California Legislature including "Rules" Committee focused on ethical practices of California legislators. How unethical for Tony Mendoza to serve on the "Rules" Committee while he have been the target of "questionable ethics" investigation! Please read all the enclosed pages to see the pattern of Mendoza serve on particular committee(s). Finances, Banking, Redistricting and Election and "Rules" http://www.asmdc.org/speaker/pdf/0318-Committees_letters.pdf

Is Rep. Tony Mendoza in the deep pockets within the cochlear implant makers and the audio-visual therapy (AVT) schools ???

Here's EVIDENCE About Deaf Girl Spent 70 Years In Mental Hospital

Someone sent me a private email message which this person never read or seen about the deaf girl spent her 70 years in the mental hospital based on misassumption. The staffers at the mental hospital were much aware of the deaf girl's own innocence, but still bounced her from mental hospital to another mental hospital. Kinda sound familiar to all of us?

Of course, the AB 2072 bill will do very same thing to our deaf children -

Spat Between Marlee Matlin and MDI CEO at LV!

Someone sent me a newspaper article about Actress Marlee Matlin had a spat with the Deaf International Pageant coordinator at the Deaf World Expo.

Kinda surprised to see Marlee Matlin let her personal feelings got the worst of herself at the given situation. Matlin's Svengali rep denied such occurrence.
