Ethics

Just want to know what your opinion is on this...

A patient is admitted, states he is an illegal alien, has no insurance. The physician declines to call in a consult for this patient's health issue. The social worker tells the patient in frustration that he needs to learn English. The nurse has a legal, moral, and ethical duty to the organization and to the patient. What would you do?

    Any time someone makes a comment about how people should need to learn English to live in the US, I ask them what our official language is. The vast majority of people I ask this do not know that there is no official language of The United States of America.

    i'm (was) one of them, everyone in my country of origin believes this

    i firmly believe that immigrants should learn English, but what if I'd been hospitalized

    during my first year in this country when my English was very poor

    my poor English skills had absolutely nothing to do with lack of desire to learn

    English so the LSW's statement "translates" into don't get hurt unless your English

    is perfect
