Good thinkin'! Blame the invisible!

Unrelated, sort of, but...along the lines of "maybe the hospital is full of idiots":

Today I saw a Mongolian woman for a pregnancy test. This was at a clinic where pts can choose to come to our hospital or another one to deliver the baby. This woman was there with a friend who spoke more English (engrish? I digress). I explained that she needed to pick a hospital where she'd deliver. Her friend said, "Oh, we go to (other hospital). They experienced." I think she meant ....with Mongolian patients, so I refrained from saying, "Hey! We have experience, too! We're a real health care institution!" Here's your prenatal vitamins. Go in peace.
