I can’t get over how stupid and overreaching the provincial law is in regulating what languages can be spoken in health care settings. Some hospitals have multilingual staff and patients. In the past, if they had, for example, an elderly patient who only spoke mandarin, they would assign them with the nurse who spoke mandarin (when possible). This seemed like the safe, kind and effective way to work. Now this is ILLEGAL?!? How can this be? Why would you choose the moment people are so vulnerable to give them a language lesson? I think it’s unethical to follow this law.
