Beyond belief. NHS ENGLAND

Recommended Posts

There are actually a lot of doctors who don't speak the language of their patients. They are called veterinarians.
Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.
Louis D Brandeis

Where are we going and why are we in this basket?

And doctors capably treat unconsious human patients all the time. But the labels on the meds, the notes on the charts, the instructions to the staff and techs, and the consultation with the owners are generally not written or conducted in conversational WoofMeow.

I believe in the English health system per say,
That said I would like to thank Thacher for driving me out
all that time ago.

Fucking unbelievable.



Should speak ENGLISH in ENGLAND? Oh the humanity!



Hmmm

Then you see no problem in the US where laws are passed that the gov does all it processes in English and that all trying to become citizens speak English

That is good to know and a step in the right direction

Well that depends. Does England have an official language? Does the US?

I'll help you out.

Look at the top of the little text box on the right hand side of the pages you linked too. It reads "official language(s)".

You may note that each page has some different words after that. But yes, other than that it is almost the same.

In many countries English is the dominant language, but does not have official status. In Australia, English is spoken by the vast majority of the population and is the only language used in government institutions, but Australia does not have an official language. The case is the same in the United Kingdom and the United States, though many states and regions within the U.S. do have English as an official language.

Tour Home Depot, Lowes, etc. Look at the labeling. Now they are interjecting Spanish paragraphs with English ones. Not have spanish here but over there as it once was is not so good. This trend is either, sellers thinking the Spanish know some English that they can interject English with Spanish or sellers are trying to teach the English to the Spanish.
But there is a big problem for The English reader trying to find the word Epoxy, not Polyester, or "drivers side" on any labeling for glue or trailer light.

Can't find it as readily as if English and Spanish were separated or English only labeling.

In other words, product labeling sucks.

I agree but
busineeses can do what they think is best for business
But in many cases they are being pushed to do this
Whether or not that is the case here who knows

But all government communications should be in English

Hi rush,

As I have mentioned before, I worked for the US gov't for 30 yrs in contract management.

We accepted no letters, documentation, or anything else in other than English. We dealt with countries from all over the world.

I, personally, have worked in Asia, Europe and South America for my agency.

I thought the NHS and socialized medicine was supposed to be THE
SHIT! Isn't that the model that all us yanks are supposed to follow?



Its still WAY better than anything you have, for those less well off.
And for those that can afford private health insurance, they have the CHOICE to pay for it if they want.
