In 1980, 18-year-old high school sports star, Willie Ramirez arrived at a South Florida hospital – in a coma.
His Cuban friends and family did not speak English.
Struggling to communicate with the medical staff, a family member used the word ‘intoxicado’.
In Spanish, the word means someone has ingested something – it could be a drug or a bad hamburger!
The ER doctor assumed it meant ‘intoxicated’ and immediately diagnosed Ramirez with a drug overdose.
Even though several ‘tox screens’ came back clean, the medical staff never questioned the doctor’s assessment. 36 hours later, someone finally figured out Willie was suffering from a blood clot in his brain.
But it was too late – Ramirez had suffered irreparable damage!
Regrettably, a year later, he left the hospital – a quadriplegic. He was eventually awarded $71 million in a medical malpractice suit. For the record, having employed a translator on staff would have cost the hospital about $40,000 / year.
What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?
Nothing at all.
