Illegal Aliens Unhappy with Shortage of Bilingual Doctors
American Thinker ^ | February 22, 2015 | Pedro Gonzales

Posted on 02/22/2015 11:31:54 AM PST by jazusamo

The LA Times reported that illegal aliens are unhappy that not enough doctors speak Spanish. The article never used the words "illegal" or "undocumented" or "dreamer" or "super virtuous" or however we are to call illegal aliens nowadays; only referring to "Hispanics" who can't understand English. But since all citizens understand English, or should, I presume that the article is only talking about illegal aliens. Now let the sob story begin:

Every day, chronically ill Latino patients stream into Harbor-UCLA Medical Center's family medicine clinic.

Some have neglected their health because they're flummoxed or alienated by the medical system, Dr. Gloria Sanchez believes.

The illegal aliens are... alienated! How ironic is that! They are also flummoxed! Have you ever seen an illegal alien flummoxed? If we put up a double layer fence across the US Mexico border, I do believe we'd see a lot of them flummoxed!

But such doctors are in short supply, said Sanchez, a professor and physician at the Harbor City facility. In 1980, there were 135 Latino doctors for every 100,000 Latinos in the U.S. By 2010, that number had fallen to 105.

The number of doctors hasn't "fallen". The number of illegal aliens had dramatically increased.

Irma Torres, 75, remembered one conversation with her 70-year-old husband, Miguel, when he was hospitalized for a heart condition.

"I asked him, 'What did the doctor say?'" she recalled. "And he said, 'I don't know.'"

Don't you hate it when you invade another country and when you seek out free medical care, they don't speak your language???

Angelina Campos, a 55-year-old who suffers from high blood pressure and migraines, was at the clinic to have her injured knee checked by Sanchez.

Am unable to sympathize with lawbreakers.

Mexico and countries south have scads of Spanish speaking doctors. Help these poor illegal aliens, 0bama, send them home.

They are welcome to seek medical care in their home countries.

Ya, Cuba has free medical care.

Didn’t Michael Moore make a half blank movie about the wonders of the Cuban healthcare system?

Has Michael gone there to get his medical treatment? Just wondering.

It is the use of our language that burns me. I listen to weekday conservative radio and during the breaks the news outlets, like Fox, use the term “immigrants” for illegals, and “dreamers,” for their spawn.

These Spanish speaking illegal aliens act as if they are wealthy expats from abroad helping our economy and services; as if their pleasure matters is as primary for them as it is for us.

there acutally IS a sincere effort in major hospitals to provide Spanish language services (the ability to communicate with the patient is important for high quality diagnosis medical care, like...where does it hurt? take two of these every morning, ...and so on)

no doubt the Spanish language service does not always achieve full perfection, but this effort has been in place, underway for many years

seems to me, if someone gets sick after entering another country illegally...he should be thankful to receive medical care there...in any language...(especially if its “gratis”)

Subject: Texas Sheriff’s Exam

Texas Sheriff’s Exam A Young Texan grew up wanting to be a lawman. He grew up big, 6’ 4”, strong as a longhorn, and fast as a mustang. He could shoot a bottle cap tossed in the air at 40 paces.

When he finally came of age, he applied to where he had only dreamed of

working: the West Texas Sheriff’s Department. After a group of tests and interviews, the Chief Deputy finally called him into his office for the young man’s last interview.

The Chief Deputy said, “You’re a big strong kid and you can really shoot. So far your qualifications all look good, but we have, what you might call, an “Attitude Suitability Test”, that you must take before you can be accepted.

We just don’t let anyone carry our badge, son.” Then, sliding a service pistol and a box of ammo across the desk, the Chief said, “Take this pistol and go out and shoot: six illegal aliens, six lawyers, six meth dealers, six Muslim extremists, six Democrats, and a rabbit.”

“Why the rabbit?” queried the applicant. “You pass,” said the Chief Deputy. “When can you start?”

Let them pay for their own interpreters. Or better yet, go home.
