I am so grateful to have a primary care provider in spanish that I’m able to get some great help. I am fortunate to have a doctor who speaks english and can help with my medications that is both knowledgeable and helpful. I also have an on-call doctor that is willing to do a lot of the work for me.
As most physicians, primary care doctors are more than capable of taking care of you when you have limited knowledge of your medical condition and can’t or won’t give you a physical exam. In this case, though, that means they are in the best position to prescribe medication and suggest changes to your lifestyle. They are also generally more up-to-date about the latest research on a particular topic, so having one of these medical professionals in your corner makes all the difference.
Of course, having someone who speaks your language on your care team is a huge plus and the primary care doctor is generally the first contact for people with limited English skills. But the quality of the doctor’s Spanish is often a secondary concern as a lot of people don’t understand what the doctor is saying. In many cases, the patient themselves do not speak much Spanish so the doctor’s Spanish is often pretty bad.
Doctors in Spain are not only highly trained, but they are also highly valued, so the doctors in Spain are often very well-paid. This is a big problem in many countries because medical workers in many countries are not paid based on their skillsets, but rather based on the number of people they treat. In other words, the doctor is usually paid more if he treats more patients, not if he speaks more languages.
In Spain, hospitals are very specialized so there is often a large discrepancy between the number of people going in for a specific treatment. It’s a good thing too because if a patient doesn’t have a doctor, they can go to the closest clinic for help.
The thing is, when you are dealing with this type of healthcare system, you can be in serious trouble. Because the number of patients going to a hospital is not based on the skills of the doctors, but rather on the number of people they treat, the odds are high that the doctors are not qualified to treat many more people than they can handle. In fact, there was a study done in Argentina that was found to have the same results.
I’ve seen enough of these studies to make the case that the healthcare system in Argentina is the worst in the world. But that’s what happens when you don’t have a doctor in the first place, and you can’t get help without a referral. In the case of these doctors, they are a problem.
The doctors in spanish are just another example of the problem of the healthcare system in Argentina. People are still dying as a result of people falling on broken glass from the street while trying to get medical treatment. The doctors are also responsible for the majority of the healthcare crisis that is happening in the country. For example, the health system in Argentina is currently running at less than 0.3% of its capacity. This is a huge problem because healthcare and hospitals are at a standstill.
In the past when healthcare in Argentina was so bad, the government had to pay for people to get treatment in the country. That’s gone now too. In the meantime, the government still has to pay for the doctors to get treatment, and there are still people dying by the hundreds who need to be treated. There are also a lot of people waiting in hospitals who aren’t getting the care they need.
The problem has gotten so bad that many people are refusing to go to the hospitals. The reason being that there is a huge amount of corruption in hospitals and health care in Argentina. The government needs to step in and help the people with their healthcare.
