The Word
I've been thinking a lot about words and language lately. I grew up speaking English and took a little Spanish in middle school. Rather than do the practical thing and continue Spanish in high school I decided to do the exotic thing and study French. It was really fun but not practical and I only remember a few words. My current job as a Patient Service Representative in a Physical Therapy clinic that happens to be in a very diverse city has me really wishing I had stuck with Spanish. The fun thing is that I see languages that I've never heard of before. I've worked in places before that did not provide interpreters, if you didn't speak English or have an English speaking relative you were out of luck. Can you imagine? I have no idea what it's like to live that way. Our company uses a phone service if we need to call a patient who needs an interpreter and our PT's use a laptop with an interpreter on video if needed, in whatever...
