Do you speak English well?

Tonight I was working at Riverside Community Hospital, when a trauma came into the ER. Since my night had been painfully boring, I decided to stroll on into the trauma room to watch the action. The patient was being poked by no less than six different people while the doctor was telling her what was going on and what would soon be happening. I noticed that the patient, although awake, was not responding to the doctor. The doctor asked a few questions but the patient continued to ignore the doctor.


Finally he asked her "Do you speak English good?"
She responded with a nod. Yes she did.
"Good..." the doctor responded, "So do I."

It took every ounce of self-control not to disagree with his definition of "good English".
