I should probably go to urgent care and the urgent care closest to me that has the ability to do the chest x-ray is refusing to provide me an interpreter other than the video remote interpreting system that they have in which I cannot use because I'm deafblind. So now I have had to call the actual interpreting agency who contracts with this hospital and who also probably contracts with the hospitals urgent care units to try and see what my options are at this point. And it might come down to a choice between go to the hospital and not have communication for my healthcare or refuse to go and hope that this doesn't get worse. The lady I spoke with kept saying you should just bring someone with you. First of all, this is my fucking healthcare and just like everybody else I deserve a right to privacy in my own damn healthcare. Second of all not everyone has on demand able-bodied help to fill in the gaps
