Living in a college town with a medical school and teaching hospitals, I must say something about the language issue.
It is beyond irritating, it is scary, and it is disrespectful when in the hospital, nurses of the same origin...say like at the nail saloon, sit there and talk in front of you...about you...in a language you cant understand. It is my biggiest issue with language problems. I found out about my heart surgery a few years ago when this brand new...brand new resident came in, held her chest, and kept saying selious...selious. I figured she meant serious, freaked out, and to say they still havent forgotten that at the hospital is probably true
I have been very lucky and very blessed to have great doctors when most needed. I would not be typing if that was not the case. Ive come across some great great nurses as well, dont know what I would have done without them.
