Isn't it possible to get some sort of medical waiver that allows you to
fly as
long as you have a safety pilot with you (something like that exists for
deaf
people, I think)?

Actually, deaf pilots can fly solo in the US. There is even a "Deaf Pilots
Association" which holds an annual fly-in.

There used to be a regular poster here from the DPA (Henry Kisor).
