Reply #79: It's racist/elitist for you to excuse Indians who can't read a drug label [View All]

Aren't you setting the bar rather low for people who are supposed to be dedicated to helping out in a hospice?

I would set the bar a bit higher than you do. I would expect more from those caretakers. If it were a language problem, they could have posted a sign on the wall translating terms like "Paracetamol" and "Prednisolone" into the local language so the caretakers wouldn't be randomly administering the wrong drugs.

It might also be racist or elitist of you to state that "people from non-Western cultures are more accepting of {the} viewpoint" "that it is all in God's hands." I bet some of those patients would have been quite happy if they could have gotten the right medication and lived, instead of dying for the glory of an exogenous religion.
