Know what pisses me off? Someone who speaks english but speaks it sooooooo bad you have no friggin idea what they said. Its one thing to speak english, and I do give credit to those who learned, but its another to speak it well and understandable. Most of the issues are with Islanders from Haiti, Jamaica etc etc. And the worse part of it is they get involved in healthcare where communication is most important. Nursing homes and medical centers hire them in masses but the patients dont understand a word they are saying even though they are speaking english. The dialect and accents are so thick it make it almost impossible to understand. I have seen nurses and doctors having nothing but problems with communicating with these people who are assisting in the care of your loved ones! See the administration hires them, not the doctors or nurses. And remember minorities get hired before home grown Americans in most cases. Where do you think most of your jobs have gone. Well let me tell you a secret....you can sue if because of communication problems you loved one or yourself is harmed in any way because of this. Keep that in mind! ITOTS Make it mandatory to not only speak english and speak it well for the health and safety of people. ITOTS Hire Americans First!

Imagine this your elderly family member in a nursing home or any medical place. They are old and maybe their hearing is not as good as it used to be. Many issues come with age. Now here is a medical assistant that even you cant understand and you expect your elderly loved one to understand? Think about that.
