Why is it important for a health student to know Basic English?
John was impressed about what there was happened that morning. He was working in the hospital when an American patient came into his room for taking an x-ray of his arm. He thought this would be a great opportunity of testing his English and in the same time treat the patient as right as he should. They started talking:
- Good Morning. May I come in? Said the patient.
- Good morning, sir. Please come in.
- Thank you very much. It’s fine to find someone who speaks English around here. There are a lot of hospitals here, but almost nobody speaks english
- I don’t speak English well, yet, Mr… Excuse me, What’s your name?
- You can call me Mr. Jones. And you?
- My name is João. But you can call me John. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.
