She stated that this was different, so I asked her if someone who needed special assistance should then be required to report his/her special needs to any potential patient before seeing them in the interest of transparency and informed consent. She got up and left dinner.

The dean, sitting across from me gave a grin and then brough up the local professional baseball team's run for the pennant as an overt attempt for a topic change.
You've just earned my respect..... Keep up the good work...
