Speak English or Your Baby Might Die!

My wife is a Respiratory Therapist that does home health for people. Goes around testing and setting up those with oxygen, CPAP machines etc....

Right now she has two customers she is suppose to help with children, but she can not get anything done because no one in the house speaks English only Spanish.

She gets lots of patients that do not speak English but have someone to help.

These Children both need the service but she can not even get past the phone with them. She is scrabbling to figure out how to help the kids.

And they are both medicaid patients getting welfare.

How can a person get welfare that can not speak English.

Wonder who talks to them about their Welfare check and benefits.

You know it goes against my character, but I have suggested to her that she take some Spanish classes. She had some classes in H.S. but she only remembers a little. Learning Spanish in future will probably add a lot of Job Security to your position. :cry:

Maybe... My friend went to school to be a social worker... And couldn't get a job because there are differant dialects of spanish... But then, she is white so maybe this was just a polite way of saying.. No whites need to apply........
