Medical Jargon: University Of Toronto

Infectious Disease Dept: Now imagine being in that same situation but this time you have no friends or family with you. You don't speak the language fluently and the system and the country itself is new and foreign. That is the situation many new arrivals here, particularly refugees, find themselves in, according to CBC. Three of the people we featured on that program were recently invited to share their stories at a conference looking at Canadian health care and refugees, organized by Dr. Anna Banerjee, a specialist in pediatric infectious disease at the University of Toronto and we've all been there in a doctor's office or an emergency room being told what's wrong with us, what to do, and sometimes this conversation is laced with medical jargon that is difficult to comprehend. It's a story I have more than a passing interest in as last year my colleague Mark Ulster and I produced the 10-part documentary show, Promised Land, on Radio, which featured the harrowing escape stories of refugees from all corners of the world. As reported in the news.
