The only problem I ever had with a foreign doctor wasn’t the accent. It was the cultural differences and attitude differences. I have had several try to talk to my husband instead of me. My answer always totally confused them. They’d say…“Your husband said…” and then I’d say, “Really? Is he having the procedure done? You need MY signature unless I’m unconscious!” In THIS country men aren’t “masters”.
