Family friends of ours are currently at Santa Clara Valley medical center. Their teenage son has been in a severe accident and is currently dealing with potential brain damage (seizures, jaw wired shut, medically induced coma.)
His parents have at best a rudimentary comprehension of English and speak primarily Vietnamese. They have not been offered translation services by the hospital and are getting scared and frustrated at their lack of comprehension regarding their sons ongoing care and their medical options. Decisions are being made without their understanding.
He is in a severe, life threatening situation. Their son is usually their translator, but is obviously of no use at the moment. Does anyone know of any services, non profits, community resources, or ANYTHING in the San Jose area that can help our friends get some assistance speaking with these doctors?
Thanks for any ANY help.
Looking to do some local wine tasting, as vineyards are opening up for tastings outdoors and by appt. Anyone have a favorite winemaker in the Santa Clara Valley wine region (morgan hill, san martin, gilroy)? https://www.santaclarawines.com/wineries.html

Hi there, the name’s Duncan! Not only do I have handsome good looks, I’m told I have a stunning personality as well. I am outgoing, social, and especially persistent in trying to get your attention; I will do so with strong headbutts and loud meows. I’m a talker and will tell you all about my feelings all day every day, but I also love to snuggle up and can be a great listener too. If you are looking for an active and social dog-like cat to add to your family, I am your guy!
What do ya think…perhaps an adorable guy like me would be purrrrrfect for your home!

Another Redditor posted today that they had first hand information that several nurses had been infected at Good Samaritan Hospital. Stay safe everyone.
Edit : the one news story verifying the reddior who said there was 5 nurses sent home https://youtu.be/YAH9TbeADMI
Screenshot of reddit post it’s obviously difficult to fully verify but considering it was typed before the news story was posted online it might lend to the credibility: https://imgur.com/gallery/wczYaHJ
