I swear I have nothing against people whose home country is other than my own. I try to customs and practices of other people respect, even if I can not understand sometimes.
What some people do but annoys me beyond measure ... For example, since women would
XYZ.
Mrs. XYZ has recently canceled their surgery appointment by telephone, as he falls into exactly the fasting month of Ramadan. You can make this deadline so impossible. This is definitely not.
I work in a Christian hospital (with nuns), find it really insanely good of us that we take care of that, and you offer to send her a new appointment that will be after the fasting month.
must Normally, a patient re-register if he "trivial reasons" canceled his appointment - holidays, had fasting month, who are fixed dates, etc. can already announce the registration.
But please, we are ready to help. The appointment is therefore canceled - and another patient is delighted.
2 weeks later (last week) is Mrs. XYZ in the ambulance for the preparation for surgery. That she has canceled her appointment, she keeps the doctors that without appointment in the outpatient clinic is due to a total system failure fall on anyone.
From Friday to yesterday, so we tried to call XYZ wife and tell her that she herself has canceled their appointment, so this is no longer available. But their phone number does not seem to agree. In the phone book and shall not, family members, they did not specify ... we have no way to reach them.
Today finally it is suddenly on the station and demanded to be taken up and operated. Whole lot of confusion arises because the originally scheduled - and canceled her personally - would actually have been recording tomorrow.
She was trying to explain - which, given worst Language barriers and of course the complete lack of an interpreter - all easy, is that it has even canceled her appointment because her during the fasting month is not possible, warhzunehmen this event.
Of course now everything is different. Because she has pain, and they will be operated on immediately. And because this is now not easy - is not as if she were the only patient we had been waiting on them - they roared and raged around the station.
subordinate to us, that we (!) Have canceled their surgery only because she is a Muslim. Because we have no understanding of their faith. And this is pure harassment, as the crosses that hang with us in the rooms. (Just a reminder ... Christian hospital with nuns and so on ...)
If it was up to me, I would emphasize the good woman XYZ from the list completely, and you suggest that they are interested in a another hospital can go.
If these are their key arguments, namely, then I ask myself anyway, why go at all in a Christian hospital and not in one of the great houses.
I always find it very sad when people want to use the manners and customs of their homeland as a bargaining chip in their new home. And if that fails to arrive with the assumption that would like us xenophobic.
are also less edifying conversations as the following: patient
XY: Do I want to talk to a doctor!
Me: When it comes to surgery dates, they unfortunately have to take my preference, because our doctors have no control.
XY Patient: Then I would like to speak with a colleague from you - you're just a woman, with you I can not discuss.
Me: oO ...
Thanks! Since then it haunts me, the phrase "down in the home" through my head - sorry. Because 1) I was not even a first-name basis with 60 years of patient XY, 2) in that his new (election) country men and women have equal rights, and 3) there are in the overall level of government not only colleagues - all women only.
As I said, actually I'm trying Gebäuche foreign customs and respect - but all one must surely can not even offer. And unfortunately, it is really true - that the only people who behave so always follow the same philosophy.
I am well aware that the then much-cited black sheep - but mistakenly fall mostly on only the shwarz sheep, and thus they are the ones that shape a picture ....
