Until her final stage, the linguist Carmen Junyent claimed the possibility of dying in Catalan. When she died, she wrote her experiences with the health staff and asked to be published after her death. In this way, he wanted to emphasize that language is part of the treatment of one person with respect to another.

Among Junyent's testimonies, there is one that gathers the facts that occurred with a nurse. Unlike others, this nurse had no problem when the patient was headed in Catalan. But once, in the midst of the crisis, he screamed to speak Spanish. Junente-Maritime refers expressly to the fact that it happened at a critical time, but then he says that these shouts made him relive of all the humiliations he suffered in his life by speaking in Catalan. That is precisely what must be avoided: accumulating at such a delicate time negative memories that nothing helps.

Remember very well how the grandparents highlighted from time to time that the Basque doctor touched them. Tap, yes, the Christmas lottery. Because it's not as simple as putting on a table a sign that says "Euskaraz Hemen." It is not as simple as marking with an x that in the delivery plan you would like to be attended in Basque.

It happened a year ago. He voluntarily opted for a smaller regional hospital, as what corresponded to him was larger in pieces and, therefore, represented more monster and, consequently, more Castilan-speaking. But childbirth had little of what I had imagined. Wounds have not yet healed. He still has no words to pronounce what the gynecologist felt when he entered the delivery room after thirty hours. Eraldi hau, nik bideratuko dut. He knows that with the change of language, the way of speaking changed, from the coup. And if possible, I would rather not remember the rest.

Since then, he has sought out the words of others. In the book A New Creation by Estitxu Fernández, the stories of Nahia Alkorta have given him both arrogance and caress. According to Alkorta, linguistic rights also have a burden on obstetric violence, and Castilian is used as an instrument of power. Alkorta talks about authority and the Civil Guard. In the absence of any further words, perhaps you will be able to tell from now on that the Civil Guard was admitted to the delivery room with the open leg.
