UK’s first deafblind doctor
2019-09-29に共有
“I haven’t yet tried neurosurgery,” she joked. “But it has always been the case where, if someone told me I couldn’t do something, I would go out of my way to prove that, in fact, I could.”
Born deaf in both ears with her vision limited to less than 5% in her left eye and none whatsoever in her right, she was repeatedly told it would be pointless to apply to medical school.

' I might have less eyesight than most of you but I have more insight than many of you ' this line has me taken away❤❤

Having chronic illness I can’t tell you how much that there is a need for a Dr like her!! She will be an amazing and compassionate doctor.
-
Great news story but you didn’t make this accessible for deaf viewers
-
And I'm not blind and deaf and I'm a medical student, yet I'm suffering so hard trying to pass my classes... I'm so amazed by her..
-
I am sure she will reap great success in the medical field as a doctor.she has opened the door for more doctors with disabilities.her empathy and deep understanding of the patient is much greater,and i know for sure that she will be diligent in listening carefully to what the patient is telling her. Wishing her the greatest success,semper fi❤

This video is inspirational to me and so many others. I am completely blind and my dream has always been to care for people. Everybody in my life is so supportive and I came across this video and thought wow, if she can, I can. So thank you so much for living out your dream!! You have so much knowledge behind you!!

Congrats , this is something i consider amazing , the amount of hard work she put in , I can respect that!!!
-
So inclusive. So powerful.
-
But how can she help a patient if she can’t see or hear? Isn’t that very importantly when it comes to making any kind of diagnosis?
-
Good on her, she's amazing and shame on those doctors who have looked down on her!!
-
It's fantastic to hear what you said. Doctor myself, I'm registered deaf but can talk and hear a bit. we have a lot to be thankful for our deaf teachers Ps doctor keep up with your fantastic work Sami

Me encantaría que me tratara esta doctora para poder aprender de ella....Estoy segura que esta doctora tendrá muchísimas aptitudes que el resto de los doctores no saben ni que existen. Las personas que han encontrado tantísimos obstáculos en la vida y han seguido luchando son capaces de llegar muy lejos.

Hello, can you correct the captions and add punctuation so it will be more accessible to people who are Deaf? Thank you!
-
The way she talks is so correct that I'm sure she can partially hear. No person born completely deaf can learn to talk like this. Deafness is on a spectrum but I think it would be better if they said she was hearing badly, not that she was born deaf
-
