More than 22 million people who live in the Unite State don’ t speak or understand English very well and that can be deadly. In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Doctor Grant Flores highlights(points out)some cases where language barriers prevented patients from communicating with health-care providers with serious consequences. Doctor Flores records one incident in which English-speaking doctors thought a Spanish-speaking man was suffering from a drug over-use. "He was in the hospital basically for two days being worked up for drug abuse", Flores says. "They finally did a head CT scan and realized he had had a major bleed into his brain. He ended up being paralyzed and he got a 71 million dollars settlement award from the hospital." Doctor Flores, a professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin, says that despite examples like that, the majority of US health-care facilities still do not have trained interpreters on sight, but he acknowledges that increasing numbers of health care workers can speak two or more languages and that more clinics and hospitals do make sure their staff and patients understand each other.
5. What does the example in the news item show?
6. How much money does the hospital give the patient for their mistake?
7. What does Dr. Flores say about clinics and hospitals?
