The article states that over 40 languages are spoken there. Why single out Spanish?

There is alot of greek in med jargon too.. but I think it would be better if they were to speak plain english to the patient. I find many American doctors lack bedside manner.

I missed where it said it was about a Mexican. Please point it out to me. I probably need new glasses.
