Learning the Language

In the reading of “ Learning the Language” by Perri Klass, I thought that it was really eye opening in the way the becoming a doctor or a nurse, like you would have to learn a whole new language.  I really like this reading of the story because it bring you in  to the life of a doctor or a nurse.  Being a doctor and nurse you would have to be able to preform or job and still be able to write and talk in the hospital (code) language, because it could be life or death for a patient.  If your become a resident would learn this language within the next three months.  In this field of learning a new language for work is something that I had to come into contact with at my work at Red Robin.  While being a busier at Red Robin we had codes for some things that we did there.  For example F.O.H. would stand for front of house, then there was fill which would stand for a fries fill, and green was just saying that everything was fine, so I can relate to her story here.  Also in wrestling we had codes that we would say so that the other team wouldn’t know what we were talking about.  In the story of “Learning the Language” by Perri Klass, I thought that it was a little funny to hear the residents using baseball terms in the hospital.  Overall in this story I thought at she was right and that she made a good point, It wasn’t after I read this that I thought of time when I used codes in my life.  But Perri Klass must have learned those codes and nickname because she has her M.D. from Harvard.
