“My mother had gone to the hospital for an appointment, to find our about a benign brain tumor a CAT scan had revealed a month ago…Still, she said, the hospital did not apologize when they said they had lost the CAT scan and she had come for nothing. She said they did not seem to have any sympathy when she told them she was anxious to know the exact diagnosis… She said they would not give her any more information until the next time and she would have to make another appointment for that… And when the doctor finally called her daughter, me,who spoke in perfect English–lo and behold–we had assurances the CAT scan would be found, promises that a conference call on Monday would be held, and apologies for any suffering ,my mother had gone through for a most regrettable mistake.” This quote identifies a legal issue is discrimination,language discrimination is that a real legal issue? However, it also can fall in the category of discrimination against civil rights being injustice based upon national origin and race.Amy Tan’s mom was being treated unfairly against the characteristics of her speech, her accent, vocabulary and structure or order of her words when speaking to the doctors.The hospital didn’t feel any remorse for how she felt and instead told her she had to do a whole new one appointment to get a new CAT scan just because of a mistake that was being made from the hospital itself not her. Nevertheless, when her daughter spoke to the doctor’s in perfect English they granted them with a whole new attention,reassures in solving the issue and taking full responsibility of losing the CAT scan.They mostly focused upon the style of speech used by the individual and then being prejudice based upon it, perhaps as well as appearance. Instead of satisfying,helping their patients concerns, needs and clarifying their errors.Can this still exist today? Is their fewer cases like this in the United States? Which courts are involved with this solving this legal issue?
