The hospital is *supposed* to provide sign language interpreters.  They 
don't always, and the "interpreter's" skills may not be adequate, 
especially in small communities.
  
I was once in International Falls, MN in February (30 degrees below) and 
wondered what they would do if a deaf person on a skiing vacation had an 
accident and came into the hospital.  The best interpreter in town had 
very limited skills.
