Editorials & Other Articles

(this was before 2010, so I'm dating myself) were immigrants. In a couple of hospital in Tennessee, many of the nurses I worked with were from the Philippines. In one unit in northern VA, I counted nurses from *14* different countries outside the US. In another, there were a number from different west African countries, and that was also true of a couple of the others. In my last place of employment, many of the nurses were from India. If the orange slime has his way, there will be NO healthcare workers!

My PCP is American, yes, but several of the others in the practice are not. At least rwo are from the Philippines. My cardiologist is American, but my GI doc is Trinidadian-Indian, and I have no idea yet what my new nephrologist is (his name is Waligora and my husband, who just saw him, says a visit with him was like an hour long chat with the Swedish chef!) but his nurse is definitely Chinese!
