Hi my name is Alexandra Adams and I Hi my name is Alexandra recently started work as the UK's first The UK's 1st Deafblind Doctor deafblind doctor. deafblind doctor. I share myth busting content on how I do things as a deafblind medical professional with the hope that it helps to educate people on what can be done and how things are done when you break down the outdated stereotypes and you're open to a bit of innovation. So far, I have shared mythbusting content on how to cannulate a patient and take blood, how to assess and diagnose a skin rash, how to read and write clinical notes, how to communicate with patients as a deaf person how to work independently as well as with how to provide life support, how to listen through a stethoscope as a deaf person Now I would much rather people ask questions and be curious rather than Be Curious Don't Assume making missassumptions based on some sort of outdated stereotypes and prejudices, what would YOU like to know? would love to know what you would like to see in my future mythbusting and welcome any suggestions down in the comments as to what you'd like me to answer next, what questions you have and what misconceptions you would like me to dispel These kind of videos could be anything from how do I do a night shift or how do I answer the bleep? How do I get to work? How do I make sure that I'm organised before a shift? How do I navigate The list goes on. So I look forward to seeing your questions in the comment section and I look forward to busting the next myth soon
