Lost in Translation
Journal Title: Research and Practice in Anesthesiology – Open Journal - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
As anesthesiologists, in whatever part of the world we live in, it is very common to be exposed to different cultures and languages. In some hospitals it happens on a daily basis, in others seldom, but the challenge of dealing with the “other” remains. In many institutions, like the one where the Author works, it is mandatory to use a professional medical translator, at least for the consent.
