That's no good at all. They shouldn't let him near the hospital until he
can speak English. He'd soon learn.

That wasn't the case when I was in hospital recently. All the patients
in the unit spoke English. OTOH, The consultant needed a nurse to act
as a translator when he did his weekly round. He did speak English but
he was very difficult to understand. I think he was Greek.

Ooh , couldn't do that , that would be discrimination. Far better for him
to misdiagnose something because he misunderstood the patient or a patient
not understand his advice and get ill or die than hurt his feelings by telling
him he needs to improve his english before he can work as a doctor.

Of course it's discrimination. Selection boards jolly well *should*
discriminate, on the grounds of ability to do the job. That's what selection
boards are for. If a person is dealing with life and death matters, then the
ability to communicate effectively is an essential part of the job, no matter
where you're from.

I think that has to rate as one of the most moronic comments I've read in
a long long time.

No need, because they communicate with the patient's representative.

Then move. No one is forcing you to live in London. I'm sure the value
of your property means you could buy some remote place. But wait -
you'd be surrounded by animals...

So you're saying it's OK for immigrants to force an indigenous citizen
to abandon our capital city?

No - you're the one saying that. I'm saying no one is forced to live
anywhere. But since he obviously doesn't like his fellow humans, I'd say
an isolated house somewhere his only option.
