Yes the doctors should be able to speak English. English is the most comprehensive language on the globe. Why you may ask? Because English is a language that encompasses all the languages. When the English language needs a word it will steal it if necessary to be exact and concise.

The idea that one should just go out and find a doctor that has the necessary English skills is all well and fine if one has the financial means to do so. What often happens is that the poor and the uneducated get the short end of the stick and end up with doctors that are just not up to a higher standard that most of us demand from our doctors. I live in a community where the unemployment rate has historically been the 20's and that is before the economic climate that we are in now and I can tell you that we end up with some real losers here.
