Did you even read the article because it doesn't sound like it.
Actually it does
They didn't bother learning French and they don't want to eat French food all the time. Sounds like a completely personal.problem when you move to France
I did. It sounded exactly like that to me. Maybe I'm wrong though.
A whole part of it is how they tried to find a doctor, and tried many but couldn't find on taking new patients. To say they've tried nothing doesn't make much sense.
A lot of that could very well be French attitude versus American attitude and the doctors offices going, "yeah, no, we're not accepting new patients." Accept 5 new French patients 2 minutes later. Especially given the American attitude given off in the quotes in the article are classic entitled behavior. "You mean you can't make a Martini if it isn't on the menu!??!!"
a lot of Americans really don't understand that people don't cater to the customer outside the US, you just get perceived as arrogant, doubly so in France and not speaking a lick of French.
