hi there... just replied to your other post re Doc Appt @ TY... so the overwhelming experience is more due to language barrier? sorry to ask but are you of Chinese ethnicity? just asking coz I am, and I know they will do everything in Chinese if you are Chinese, but I've seen nurses and staff communicate in English to non-Chinese moms to be, there may be some struggle at the registration area (which I ended up helping to translate for another mom) but all doctors speak English since that's the language which they were trained.
during my subsequent appointments at the Sai Ying Pun MCHC next door, all annoucement or video shown in the waiting room are bilingual. actually i prefer going to the MCHC as things are also more efficient and less waiting time...
FYI you can request English to be used in communication if obviously that is the language you preferred. we delivered our first in QMH and though both my husband & I are of Chinese ethnicity, he doesn't speak or understand Chinese while I'm ok to communicate verbally. we have requested all communciations to be done in English and they did so, also following our birth plan which was in English to a tee...
sorry can't comment re Canossa as no first hands experience, though my friends who had their babies there were very happy...
all the best with your decision!
