California health clinics have begun bringing in Mexican doctors to treat farmworkers in rural counties. It took 19 years to open the pipeline.
Neri Ortiz tucked her hands in her lap as she earnestly recounted her latest health episode to Dr. Eva Perusquia. Recently at work, where Ortiz packages vegetables overnight, she was hit with a wave of nausea and tears. She managed to pull herself together enough to continue her shift, she told the doctor. But it had been years since she'd experienced such an overwhelming emotional surge. Perusquia listened closely.
She recalled an episode where she was experiencing stomach pain and sought treatment at a hospital. An interpreter helped navigate the visit, but had an accent that made it difficult for Hernandez to understand what the doctor was trying to convey. “I asked questions, but they couldn’t explain the answers really well to me,” she said. Hernandez picks field lettuce, a taxing job she started in May. Previously, she worked in Utah, painting houses.
