  May Paxton graduated from the Missouri School for the deaf near the year 1909.Three years later she went to see Dr.Richardson about becoming a nurse.Dr.Richardson had never heard of a deaf nurse.But she was impressed with her, and accepted May as a student nurse.

  Dr.Richardson never regretted her decision.In fact, she was so pleased with May’s work that she later accepted two other deaf women as student nurses.The first was Miss Marian, who was hard of hearing.The second was Miss Lillie.

  May and Marian did not know each other before Marian was hired by the hospital.Dr.Richardson introduced May to Marian.During the next two days, the two girls wrote notes to each other.Finally, other nurses asked Martian if she knew that May was deaf.Marian ran to the bedroom and asked May in sign if she really was deaf.May answered in sign.Then, the two girls burst into laughter(突然大笑).

  May was always careful about following orders.Only once did she disobey Dr.Richardson.It took a lot of time to care for all the sick children, as a result, Dr.Richardson asked the nurses not to hold the new babies when they were crying.However, May heated to see the babies cry.When Dr.Richardson was not around, she found time to hold them.This small change helped the nursery to run much more smoothly.When Dr.Richardson knew that May’s actions had improved the nursery, she decided to overlook(视而不见)May’s breaking the rules.
