I can foresee the day when interpreters will also be needed for the
doctors. Our government finds it cheaper to import doctors (some with
very questionable qualifications) from third-world countries than to
fund the universities and hospitals to train doctors. As the shortage
grows, it's becoming harder to find doctors who speak a clear and
understandable English.

An interesting variant invented by the NHS is to train the
medical students for four or five years in University and then
devise a system for allocating first medical jobs that imports
students/junior doctors from Eastern Europe at the same time as
failing to find a job for the graduating UK medical students.
This is so as to ensure 'equality of opportunity'.
