In US ALL doctors have to be trained in Spanish so that they can serve the hispanic population. This type of systemic racism against hispanics shouldn't be tolerated and we need put an end to it.
- batch12 5y agoThe article doesn't mention this as an issue? Actually, for Spanish it indicates the opposite.
- charcircuit 5y agoA doctor not knowing every language on earth is not racism. Learning a language takes a significant amount of time / money.
- riskQtempAcc 5y agoAs a native Spanish speaker who remembers not speaking English and whose mom makes silly English mistakes with her Dr. (I went to a restaurant and got “intoxicated” instead “food poisoned”)… No. We made the decision to move here. Why should Dr.s learn Spanish instead of us English? Also, there are plenty of Dr. who speak Spanish (upper middle classes fetishize us and love to show off their basic Spanish) Finally, Dr. training is brutal enough as it is without adding the burden of a new language. I want my family Dr. to focus their time on their cardiology classes. My mom can collect more funny anecdotes. Im sure you feel well, but this suggestion is patronizing and reeks of what is now called “white savior complex”.
