I guess I know why the parent is downvoted but in the end the responsibility is on both sides. If you don't speak fluent English you ask for interpreters in Spanish, Chinese, you name it. You can't insists on speaking an unpopular dialect/accents, can't even specify what best describe your dialect/accents, and expect anything from the hospitals.

People don't choose their native languages and everyone should expect adequate care at a hospital when they need it.

As stated in this article, the woman was receiving service in Arizona. The official language in that state is English, so you should expect services to be offered in that language.
