TN Hospital suit over interpreters

Two deaf men are suing a Tennessee hospital for not providing them with interpreters. Robert Buttrum and Michael Hill say this happened several times at Cookeville Medical Center when they came in for medical procedures. The hospital did provide a video interpreter, but the system didn't work, according to their complaint. The hospital has yet to comment. Read more about the case at Disability Rights Tennessee here.
