Funny you mention this, I was stationed at Katterbach AAF in 93-94 and had an emergency appendectomy at a local German hospital. I had no idea what was wrong with me and they admitted me after an ultrasound. The next morning a German doctor who spoke little English comes into me room and pulls back my covers. He pushes on my stomach and says, "oh yes, we operate today". I had no idea what they were going to operate on and had to get out of bed and call the Red Cross to get an interpreter to find out what they thought they were going to do to me. lol

Oh bless your heart!! I guess they were lucky. The Doctor even dropped the attempt to make them speak German. He said it was a different experience. What was funny was his comment "Mom they still use all glass IV's over here!".
