Quote of the day #11
"We don't have a grasp on the medical knowledge; we haven't been schooled in that language. :what is immediately clear to the doctors and nurses is opaque to us. We're just not part of that professional culture."
I feel that this reading has a very similar meaning as Amy Tans writing about her language. This article is just a more broad and "professional" way of getting the same message across. This article seems to be a more professional/job related way of talking about different languages and "slang" that people use. I think that the abbreviations and words that doctors use and physicist use can be considered as slang, more so professional slang. It goes back to the same meaning that everyone has different languages and we won't understand it until we try to learn and understand it ourselves.
