I was in the Royal Liverpool hospital there was a Chinese man and two Chinese women .I met them in the blood clinic then in the doctors clinic then back in the blood.The last time we were in the same place I said to the Chinese girl,we meet again,yes she said the other woman was the interpreter for my father she has had to go and meet another patient.I had a conversation with her why could she not be her fathers interpreter,I think it's the Chinese who use it (or abuse it) the most.My son comes with me to all my clinics (cancer only) he is my interpreter and believe me I need him at times because I cannot understand a word some of these foreign doctors are saying.A couple of weeks ago had a lady doctor seemed tobe Scandanavian besides the language problem she spoke very low,my son had to tell me what was going on when we got outside.
Regards.
