Hmm, doctors in emergency rooms are usually interns and many of them have been awake and working for at least 12 hours, sometimes more.
It is true that there should be a better understanding of people with disabilities in an emergency room. Did you ask at the desk for an interpreter?
I used to take my students to the emergency room occasionally and while we did not have an interpreter, everyone was very cordial and made sure I understood what was going on.
I think you have a right to complain and please let us know the outcome! Better luck next time.
That is true cuz my cousin is an itern and she tells me about her crazy hours. I asked her how she can function and she said that she goes on "autopolit". I guess these urgent care doctors are walking zombies so I wouldnt rely on them being sensitive to anyone's needs.
Maybe if they could work on a regular schedule, things would change?
As for myself, so far, I havent had any bad experiences with doctors.
