Babel

Hi daughters,

On Monday I was on the B pod of our unit and I noticed that of the 5 patients we had, there were only 2 English speakers. Others were Korean, Spanish, and Hebrew. A minority of English speakers. On Wednesday I was on the C pod, and I suddenly realized that out of 6 patients, there was one English speaker. The others were Spanish, Cantonese, Russian, Punjabi, and Greek. It isn't always that variegated there, but I decided that must be one of the things that I like about Harborview.
Tomorrow morning I go in for 2 fillings and a crown. Your Mom had a sudden knee swelling yesterday. Marissa has a strained triceps and a sore foot. Beth, I hear you have a pulled hamstring. Let's all pray for each other!

Love,
Dad
