HOW DOES A LANGUAGE BARRIER AFFECT HOW PATIENTS RECEIVE CARE? 

“Even my accent creates an irritation with the receptionists and some doctors.”

“Many doctors did not speak Spanish so my parents didn't understand. I would try to translate but being young it was hard to translate or understand medical terminology.”

“My accent causes me to be asked where I am from.”

“Due to my spanish accent I have been discriminated against  … they have put some translation without understanding my concerns.”

“My accent and charisma insults people and they treat me very bad.”
