      I hate it also. I know she probably does it to move the convo along but it feels rude, especially because they are giving her time to interpret...I understand if she had a patient or provider that tends to go on and on, but they are doing a good job at giving her enough time.

      It’s annoying, I agree. Where’s her pen and stenopad? Why is she not taking notes? She should be taking notes to be able to interpret the whole statement without interrupting. You only interrupt, when there’s too much information and your memory and notes can’t keep up with it.

    Just from the experiences that I have had with interpretation, people sometimes talk normally without breaks, and at that point you have two options. You can either just start interpreting so they know you need the chance to interpret or you listen to everything and try to summarize the main points, which is less accurate.

    In my training we where told to do the little preview:
    for the patient: Hi my name is ....I work for......I'll be your interpreter for........please speak and pause and if I raise my hand is for you to give me time to interpret. Everything is said is confidential. if you have any questions let me know so we can better assist you. I normally say it as soon as the pt shows up in the waiting room. and I never stay in the same room once the appt starts if doc is not there. It avoids talking personally...
    And her positioning is not good. The provider and Pt keep breaking their necks to look at her.

      In real life, sometimes they don’t give you time for the pre session. You have to have a short version of the pre session. Some doctors aren’t trained to work with interpreters and they rush, and they don’t give enough time to do the consecutive form of interpretation either. Some others respect your role and let you do your job.

    It is a good effort! However; in real life it is advice for interpreters: avoid eye contact or personal engagement with either the patient or the provider. Important here is that interpreters are not any more a "voice" in the room. Now, interpreters are encouraged positioned themselves and being recognized as equal member of the health care provider effort for patients with Limited English Proficiency (LEP). The role of advocate is greater now Interpreters have the bi-cultural skills to become a cultural brokers to assure cultural competence in health care.

      "Duerme" in the sense that the area becomes "numb", meaning that it loses the ability to feel any type of sensation (hot, cold, pain, etc.). She wasn't referring to verb sleep (rest).

  • @btapann
    @btapann Před 5 lety +8

    I agree, In a real life situation this would be quite rude & unprofessional! Simultaneous interpretation is best used in ongoing discussions like during court proceedings especially when the judge is relaying something to the parties, etc.
    This particular conversation was rather informal. The doctor was asking several questions to determine what was going on with the patient so that she could assess her condition and possible treatment. The interpreter should have taken a pause between both parties allowing each side to fully convey their response while listening carefully. She also relayed that the patient’s Brain was hurting her!? That was too literal! Sometimes there are some words that can not be translated so you need to find/use words that are as close to the meaning. There were other words that the interpreter could have used to convey the same meaning rather than saying “she has a pain in her brain” The patient was conveying that she was experiencing pain in the head/cerebral area not her brain! Another thing that I found unprofessional was that the interpreter reacted to some of the patient’s answer. An interpreter should always remain professional at all times and never personalize her feelings. It seemed judgmental when she laughed at the patient’s answer of having taken some pain meds that were prescribed to her neighbor. It’s not the interpreter’s job to show any type of emotions during an interpreting session. Always remain professionally non-judgmental. Her job is to relay to the doctor the answers from the patient not to laugh because of the patient’s actions of using medication prescribed to someone else. So rude & unprofessional. She needs to be retrained!!!

    • @Abouezili
      @Abouezili Před 5 lety +4

      I totally agree with the laughter, it was very unprofessional and even the person playing the provider part looked a bit uncomfortable. I think because it was a mock interview and the girl playing the patient part seems to be another interpreter (they probably work together) it was almost like an inside joke between them. I really think she did a mediocre job as far as professionalism goes and her attempt at doing a simul really made it seem very rude. The message was conveyed and it got the point across but it was a very poor professional job. Perhaps she wasn't taking it as seriously as she could because it was a 'mock'

    • @ginamelendez6603
      @ginamelendez6603 Před 3 lety

      I've got a question about your comment regarding that some things shouldn't be interpreted literally. My main problem as an interpreter is that I have a tendency to interpret things in a literal way from spanish to english. I'm a spanish native speaker so I think this problem is due to not being acquainted enough with english idioms and such. Now, sometimes I interpret what they say literally in order to keep the register of what the patient is saying. Lots of patients are not very educated and use very colloquial language. I think sometimes it is important to interpret certain phrases and words literally for the doctor to understand the patient's level of education. What is your opinion about this? What advice can you give me in regards to this topic?

    This needs more professionalism and a certified medical interpreter! There are also many more excellent videos in CZcams of certified medical interpretation! I am trying to find a few for my dear friend that is considering this career path… My observations are as follows: This session is between the patient and the provider. Therefore, the provider is to communicate with the patient and vise versa! Please, train the staff on how to work with a certified/trained medical interpreter. When possible, (if not in the ER)The Interpreter must start the session by stating your short disclaimer! Such as the confidentiality, to pause frequently, that you will be interpreting everything that is being said, and not to look at you… ! Do not interpret in the reporting style!
    Raise your hand to ask for clarification or for a pause..

They spoke of being a bicultural expert but they are biased as to what population of Hispanics they most often work with at that particular job. Very rude and ignorant comment. The Hispanic population is the most culturally diverse group of people in this country.

What nonsense is this?? If you don't understand as an interpreter, then maybe you're not a qualified or skilled interpreter. And what you just said, assuming what the patient will or will not understand based on what YOU understand, is rather preposterous, certainly offensive: all you're doing is trying to project your mediocrity onto the patient, who is stereotyped as an unsophisticated, illiterate buffoon who is unable to engage a doctor or any medical practitioner in their own language.
