Medical language is very critical to understand. They use some big complicated terms which make people more worried about their health problem than the intensity of the problem.
I once had a friend who consulted a doctor over some health problem. The doctor said that he is suffering from Dyspepsia and have to be treated with proper medication. Then started trouble; my friend that it is similar to some thing like cancer. He then started developing depression slowly. Even I was frightened with his situation until I confirmed it as some small indigestion problem. He still wasn’t ready to believe it and had to be taken again to the doctor to make him explain what the Dyspepsia is; and also to cure his depression.
This explains the importance of Medical language translator. The International Medical Interpreters Association (IMIA) published a new guide for Medical Language translation, which can be downloaded from the website of IMIA.
