My eldest sister, her family has immigrated to
But my elder sister’s family didn’t call me recent two months. I felt that this was an uncommon thing and I felt nervous, so I brought a telephone card to call my elder sister’s family.
Unfortunately, I learned that my brother-in-law got sick from the call. He is 78 years old. He had treated in the hospital for about 20 days. The next day when he got better, he went home. But at that day, his youngest son got a serious appendicitis.
When my nephew waited to see a doctor in the hospital, there were eight patients who had the same appendicitis but not serious were also waiting.
May be the staffs of the hospital knew that my nephew is an Asian. They scheduled him to get his operation last, so he had waited for about 22 hours.
Treating appendicitis requires a simple surgery. If a patient who has serious appendicitis doesn’t get surgery soon enough, it is very dangerous for him or her.
During the surgery, my nephew’s appendix exploded. It was very dangerous, but my nephew was very lucky. His life was saved after about two months of treatment in the hospital.
Do you think he was treated unfairly because he was an Asian?

My eldest sister, her family has immigrated to Canada in 1989. I immigrated to USA in 2002. We always keep talking by long distance telephone once or twice each month.
