Patriotic Americans are now second class citizens in their own country. Just ask Jorge W. if its alright to speak Spanish - he does.

Language barriers pose drug risk

Half of America’s pharmacies are unable to communicate with non-English-speaking clients, putting patients at risk of potentially harmful medication errors, a study by the Univ. of Texas found. Among the pharmacies that responded to the survey, fewer than 30% of pharmacies could mostly or always communicate in a non-English language. There was a case of a child with iron-deficiency anemia who was hospitalized after her Spanish-speaking parents gave her an overdose of her medicine after misreading the prescription label.
