Since I don’t have a lot of experience in the medical field, I would say that the most common areas requiring interpretation would be general checkups and issues related to potential pain. However, I am eager to learn more by being more hands-on and constantly interpreting. Taking that into consideration, I will keep our Interpreting manual with me at all times and consult it between sessions to refresh my memory on the most common topics. I’ll also use index cards and take constant notes to improve my long-term memory.

I was not very familiar with the medicine area besides the occasional doctor visit, but after going through this course, I was introduced to a new world of incredibly interesting subjects. The two areas that I find most fascinating are Physiology and Obstetrics. The first one because I have developed a newfound interest in how the body works and reacts to physical exercises, as well as all the benefits that come from it. I’m also intrigued by how this area constantly seeks to answer key questions, ranging from the functions of single cells to the interactions between human populations and our environment, both here on Earth, the moon, and beyond. Now, being a father of two and witnessing firsthand the development of a pregnancy and the creation of new life, Obstetrics has sparked my interest to learn about all the processes involved in this journey, from a single cell to a fully fledged human. This ties in with the challenges I think I will face with its terminologies, as it is such an intricate and specific area of medicine.

Apart from the vast amount of time to change something that was translated, I would say interpretation is harder because you have many other things to worry about besides the words themselves, such as your tone, the environment, the mood of who you’re interpreting to, etc

[Estevao Rosacruz]

Well the way you translate can vary according to the intended audience, so if you translate a children’s book you’ll want to be as simple as possible but it can be very loose, all that would matter is the message being delivered. Now in a engineering company yearly report, the main goal is to be as faithful as can be. But in the end it is still a form of interpretation.

Thanks for the examples, gave me something more to think about regarding this subject

Incorporating all these roles in a medical interpretation session is a must

Great research Shivangi!

The US is ahead of most countries in this sense of supporting and legitimizing interpretation for different languages

[Estevao Rosacruz]

Learning about the terminology is to me one of the most important things a interpreter can do

[Estevao Rosacruz]

It sounds somewhat complicated to understand all these medical terms but once you learn to break them down makes it a lot easier to comprehend

[Estevao Rosacruz]

Its common knowledge that the heart is extremely important to most living beings on the planet but its great to actually learn the why

[Estevao Rosacruz]

To consider something microscopic has that much importance in our lives is amazing

[Estevao Rosacruz]

Awesome to think about that the skin can be almost a sense on itself, like identifying and regulating temperatures

[Estevao Rosacruz]

One of the most interesting things about our skin to me is the fact of how flexible it is, not only does it move with your body but it adapts to many different situations we might go through

[Estevao Rosacruz]

Its really interesting that the things you mentioned to heal the Alveoli are connected to an overall better quality of life
