As long as they know how to bill you in every language, that's all they need.
Indeed
Kinda feel sad as a doctor that everyone views us that way. Well at least here, we have healthcare and a full checkup cost $1.5 while the average doctor only earns $15,000 a year
@@mariinito4291 "Here".
Where is that? I wanna go live there. Imma support those Doctors with all my might!
@@alinutzalin6346 haha thanks for the compliment my dude. Well I don't know if you actually want to live here since I'm from India.
Anyways just for more clarification I want to add some more. The health sector in our country is divided into Private Sector and Government Sector.
Private Sectors are costly but well maintained and have the latest equipment. And when I say costly, it's not American Healthcare level of costly. More like if a full body checkup cost around $5 in a Public Hospital, the Private Hospital will cost around $50.
The Public Hospital although lacks the latest & greatest equipment, it has the best institutions and best doctors in the country (like All India Institute of Medical Science, AIIMS for example). They are very cheap, will provide the best service for the money and are very effective. One downside of the Public Hospital is that it's slow because many people line up and there aren't too many doctors in our country compared to the +1billion population
I'm American who is part-Filipino, however I look more Asian than my own family. It is not a surprise that I looked Korean or Chinese to other Filipinos.
I've been spoken to by every East Asian in their language, thinking that I am one of them. The funniest experience I got was that I was spoken to by someone in Korean, and sensing I didn't understand, switched to Cantonese, which I ALSO didn't understand
Ok?
Nice
I love that it’s happened so many times you could tell the difference. I couldn’t tell Spanish from French
@@joshuajohnson2027 Cantonese is basically Mandarin but mostly without the pauses between syllables, while Korean is basically using the vowels “A, E, O, U” in 10-12 different inflections.
Hold on so even asian mistake themselves so is it racist you don't know if the person is korean japanese Chinese etc

@@thechannelthatdoesnotexist Agreed
@@Arcticanine how many languages do you know btw
@@thechannelthatdoesnotexist Two, and some other languages but they are a bit broken and I can't exactly form words in them.
@@Arcticanine great man, I know three languages natively, and I'm really interested in learning arabic, latin, hebrew and japanese
Does Connor have something like a Medic-Alert bracelet? I'd hate for him to get in trouble because he gets hurt away from his friends and he gets taken to a hospital without anyone to speak for him...
Yeah he said he had one a long time ago but he also lost it a long time ago. He’s said one he should probably get another one but we’ll see.
@@lovingmusichere *surely* he'll get another one 😀
@@mono8476 he talked about it in one stream with mouse he said he should be wearing one of those bracelets but he can't be bothered to get a new one and remember to use it
@@kronickingpin its a twitch meme
Connor could get a kanji tattoo for haemophilia and just tell people it means wisdom or something
I recommend 'royal disease,' because it sounds badass and isn't even technically lying.

The thing about the person talking to Aki and not responding to Joey is like functional dislexia, where they believe you're not supposed to be speaking Japanese, so they don't actually LISTEN to what you're saying and then turn to the person who's SUPPOSED to be Asian and SHOULD speak to you in Japanese.
Bruh that's disrespectful as fuck
@@Tefezilla Yes it is, but the person doesn't even KNOW they're doing it. I'm pretty sure the woman didn't take in a single word Joey said in Japanese. For her, it was probably basically like us listening to Charlie Brown's teacher.
So... they're Racist
@@mariadocarmosobreira8323 this shit happens to me in portuguese. I'm a native speaker and was hired specifically to help with customers who speak portuguese and 9 out of 10 time they'll walk up, I'll ask "pois não?" and they'll answer in some broken variation of "no sorry I don't speak english". BITCH I KNOW! It's why I started this conversation in PORTUGUESE.
I wonder if it has something to do with being monolingual? Im used to speaking two different languages with my parents plus another extra one whenever I have to deal with strangers, so I'm used to take a beat to register what language I'm being spoken to even when it's a language outside of my repertoire
The kanji for Blood friend disease is actually really close to what hemophilia means:- blood + love
Which is interestingly close to the etymological roots of hemophilia.
@@AllUpOns According to Wiktionary, it is a calque of the English word, so there is a real connection there. Interesting stuff!
I live in China.
I am Filipino mixed but many people think I am Hong Kong Mixed with European. I remember crossing the HK border into Mainland China and getting talked to by immigration in Cantonese. Sometimes, they just have this annoyed look on their face when I speak English. I have had immigration officers hand back my forms and tell me that I forgot to fill out my real name (pointing at the Chinese name line).
I live in China and I have white friends who speak perfect Chinese, and yet servers look at me waiting for me to respond.
My favorite is when I am traveling in Asia and I have to use Google translate to try to communicate. People will look at my garbled Google translated sentence and just respond verbally. Dude, if I could understand your language, I wouldn't be using Google Translate.
I did a part time job working at an English school. I was setting up the classroom, and this grandmother came in and grabbed her grandkid. She yelled at my manager demanding for an American teacher. The manager told her that I am an American but mixed heritage. The old lady was not happy, and insisted to watch the class.
Oh do I have stories.
The Japanese ER I went to the doctor spoke slow English (not great but it was enough) to me the first time I went as I was struggling. A year later I went back and he spoke all Japanese. He said I had leveled up and he needed to go back to eikaiwa.
Wait how tf did you become good enough at medical convo in Japanese in only 1 year?
@@skebaba918 I studied before going to japan so I knew a lot of grammar and vocabulary but my listening comprehension was pretty bad.
This conversation is like the "But we are speaking Japanese!" video.
I thought of that exact same video sketch
In 2019 I took my mother on her first trip to Japan, she has hypertension and around the last week of our trip she had some heart problems (arrhythmia), in that time we where in Tokyo.
She started to have chest pain and problems breathing, so I started to find a hospital that could help us and specially that their staff are English speakers since my Japanese are not that Pro. I found St. Luke international Hospital and on their web page said they had English speaking staff.
We went there and none of the people attended us didn't know any English, I told them as hard as I could the situation of my mother thinking she was having a myocardial infarction and when a doctor attended us, she was an urgency resident and only manage to speak a few words, in thar time I was stressed since I couldn't speak my mind to the doctor and finally an English intern came with us and told us that he is from englanand and he could translate.
They found out that I was a general practitioner and the doctor was telling me that if I wished to treat my mother.... and I told them that I would rather they could treat her. By the end I recommend some tests to rule out MI, and finally she did get all the medical attention thanks to that English Intern...
It wasn't a bad experience but they should not put an advertisement that say the speak English... besides that I love the medical attention and the price wasn't that bad, actually I thought it was very cheap.
man i should sleep
@Josephif Smithling interesting
With the exception of Joey, I just realized everyone here is Trilingual... or will soon be trilingual at least. Joey is the only one with just 2 languages lol. Garnt with Thai, Emily with Korean, and Connor with Welsh
none of them speak Japanese at a conversational level so none of them are really trilungual
@@crimsondawn7232 connor quite surprisingly can actually held conversational level quite well in japanese at least for him enough to live comfortably in japan. you can watch in one of his irl stream when he talked to japanese pretty well in one of his streams.
@@Darkrezta oh really, nice! would you be able to link me the stream I'm curious
@@crimsondawn7232 you can found it in cdawgvavods channel. I believe the one with peter and chris is the one where he talk quite a lot with another japanese.
Well to be fair Garnt said on TT that he's not that good at Thai and Emily in her own video said she isn't good at Korean either. But hey, at least they're better than most learners.
"BITCH! I JUST SPOKE TO YOU!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Connor seems to be a long lost member of the royal family lol
I am an American living in Tokyo and my doctor and dentist speaks fluent English.
At least here in a fairly large hospital in Tokyo (can’t say it for privacy), we have to have translators on site 24/7. Personally, I had to pass a test to even speak to foreigners. We even have designated wings for foreigners, since we have so many tourists we have to rush to find out what language they speak, if there’s a translator and if they have healthcare.
It’s a mess..
Because I grew up in a chinatown that was actually a diverse mix of asians, I can understand many common questions and basic phrases in many asian languages and but can't speak those languages. I recall years ago, an asian persion asked me if i could speak their language, an I said, I can understand a bit but I can't speak it (in english), What do you need help with?
Instead of asking me the question, they gave me a look of disgust, went to a white person, and asked them for directions in incredibly broken english. Like, You could have just asked me, and had a much easier time in your native language, or speak english and substitute words you don't know with your native language, than to struggle for 5 minutes to even ask your question to the white dude, and THEN have them answer you...
I recall this because even though I don't remember what language it was, I do remember thinking when she went to the white dude, that i definitely would have understood her if she asked in her native language...
I guess they all went to Germany with Dr Tenma XD
Lol XD
I just assumed that tenma knew & was speaking german the whole time
BRO IK THE HOSPITAL IN THE THUMBNAIL!! ITS FROM PUERTO RICO I DRIVE BY IT EVERY DAY!!
I’ve heard stories of French people from other provinces going to Quebec, speaking fluent French, but because they have an accent the québécois speak to them in broken English. Never happened to me, but I haven’t rlly spoken to ppl in Quebec.

@@GrowingDownUnder why u using google translate then passing it off like some psa thats kinda irresponsible
@@bajiiruuch because I don't speak japanese lmao! I google translated everything for yall, if I got anything wrong blame google not me haha
@@bajiiruuch the thing is i'm translating individual words, not sentences. When you start putting words into sentences then things change. But I doubt single words would be wrong on google, google is generally quite accurate for single words but fails when you start using sentences and slang terms or phrases, google translate doesn't do figure of speech very well and that kinda thing. But individual words you can use it for. It's likely that if any of these words are "wrong" that you actually are using the slang terms or like a thesaurus will give you similar words that mean the same thing.
Interesting title, my local village family clinic the doctors speaks 100% English to me……..but as you said, it’s not advertised as an English speaking clinic. I think it depends where you live. I’ve had a few doctors speak to me.
If you want a doctor in Japan to speak English, go to one of the US Military bases.
EDIT: Because apparently this wasn't obvious, this comment is supposed to be a joke.
Dude, they live in tokyo US military bases far away from greater tokyo area. 🧐

Blood Friend is the lesser version of Blood Lover disease. Honestly, it isn't the worse transliteration.
Im Filipino, but looks-wise, im an extremely vague asian, so Ive been assumed to be Japanese at first glance. But when i start speaking broken Japanese, they automatically ask if they should translate to Korean or Singaporean (Neither of which i ecen remotely speak). Even though Ive said "Eigo Daijoubudeska?" right before 💀
I work as a medical interpreter for Spanish, and I’d really like to add Japanese to the list.
Seriously, having a trained medical interpreter is SO important to avoiding malpractice and to have a good patient-provider rapport.
You can’t just be using Google translate on this kind of thing.
Blood friend is literally the English translation of hemophilia... so, not too far off. ;)
there is no one more badass than someone who speaks multiple languages

Anime that can't exist. A hero with that can speak any language
Tomodachi looking ass thing 🤣
To anyone that's impressed at the old man speaking several languages, just keep in mind that languages themselves take a lot of time to learn and aren't something you can just learn immediately to just show off. Given that guy was already old, he probably did a lot of work that involved needing to use those languages and even then he might not be fluent in them.
I never really had a problem with doctors in Tokyo, and I saw quite a few (ehh chronically ill community). If the doctor didn’t speak sufficient English I would bring a friend who was more fluent than me. Or would request an interpreter by telephone. You have to expect, in a country with a different national language than your own, that not everyone can be bilingual. But Conner is right, he should 100% at least learn the words for his own conditions 😂
did you watched the video? the problem is never about could every doctor be bilingual or not, but how every single doctor in japan whom advertise them self as someone who could speak english couldn't speaking english them self when consultation happen. that's the thing that connor complain about. why you advertise yourself capable to speak english when you couldn't speaking english yourself? that's the problem.
@@Darkrezta I did watch it. I’m just speaking from experience, the places I went that advertised English speakers were never fluent but did speak a little English.
@@panpacifice my point is I disagree in certain situation with your statement that "You have to expect, in a country with a different national language than your own, that not everyone can be bilingual". like in this connor case, where someone in this case, doctor who advertising a service and at the same time them self that they can speak english. I believe in that situation I am right to be entitled to expecting that doctor, to actually can speak english when the actual service between me and them happen, either when their national language is english or not. especially if miscommunication in that service can be potentially dangerous to me. that's what I believe the core of connor complaint, and I agree with him.
I am never expecting anyone in the country whom english is never their national language to actually fluent or even speak a little of it, but I am expecting someone who advertising they can to actually speaking it. sorry if I am not clear enough
@Robin Sailo they're not required to learn english though. They already have a lot on their hands, imagine a japenese med student learning pathophysiology in japanese & learn it in english, their brains might explode & besides the majority of their patients is japanese people, why even bother learn English.
@@Darkrezta bruh when did OP says its ok to falsely advertise? Stop misunderstanding/putting words in his mouth
Japanese people would often (not always) speak English to me even when I was speaking Japanese. I worked my ass off studying this language and thought if you’re in Japan and you’re speaking japanese people should respond in japanese. I kind of turned into a jerk I think because you could push my buttons just speaking broken English to me when I was speaking japanese. I feel bad about that looking back.
These trees look a little polish 👁👄👁
I didn't know that 血友病 is written the exact same way in japanese as in chinese, are many words like this?
actually I should know the answer. funny thing, last time i went to osaka and couldn't communicate, I took out a pen and paper and started writing in chinese, and they understood me almost perfectly...
Neat
The guys behind the "But we're speaking Japanese" video must have had a lot of experiences just like the first couple stories
Imagine going to a japanese doctor and he says "あなた は もう 死んでる" but can't say it to you in english so u don't understand 😂

Now I know
I'm not from English speaker country but the doctor here use English for medical terms

Doctors in America can’t write English
They really want a slap on the face or whaaat?! People needs medical information…shame on them! Even if it is for commercial reasons everybody have to know how to speak English…even if you are trash at conversation…you can write and that will save lifes
not everybody need to speak english at all. the world not revolved around it, some people living fine without it. it's happen and it's ok, deal with it.
the problem is not that they dont speak english, because thats normal, a lot of people speak english and have no problems, it isnt the language the whole world uses
what i could agree in is that if they did not know english to a conversational level then they should not advertise themselves as "can speak english." that is wrong, and probably should not be allowed for many reasons
again, the problem isnt that they dont know english, the problem is that they advertise that they know english while they don't.
I disagree. I do agree that doctors who actually speak english shld be made aware to foreigners. The embassy/immigration department or watever shld hv a list they make available for foreigners
No. If you go to another country, it’s your obligation to know their language. Entire countries shouldn’t have to bend to your entitlement
@@EzKay_PX maybe Joey was right when he said "can speak english"="not afraid of foreigners". Since Japan is a collectivism society, if the doctor put a sign such as "foreigners welcomed", other doctor may take it as an insult. Just sharing my opinion.
