Sisyphus Speaks 127: None so blind.




Sysiphus Speaks show

Summary: Last month the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that the Palmer College of Chiropractic must make accommodations for a blind student, including an assistant to interpret X-rays and other medical images. The college had argued that accommodation wasn't feasible, and that vision was a requirement for a degree because reading X-rays is critical for the profession. There have been other blind chiropractors in the past, starting with C.R. Johnston, the man who made Peekskill famous (I never heard of Peekskill) who graduated from Palmer in 1918.
