ISSUE: The disconnect between clients and the Medical Translators/Interpreters

[Guest guest]

Dear Listmates,

Let me draw your attention on the Blog " Translating and Interpreting " by

Terena Bell, and more particularly on the latest article * " Is Our

Industry Disconnected from Clients? " * which concerns our profession

directly.

Here is the comment I sent to her on LinkedIn. It might help setting the

scene.

Dear Terena,

/ " What to say in my not too good English? First of all, of course I am

horrified by the exchange you had at this Harvard Conference. Of course,

I find the reaction of both these VIPs supposed to be in charge of the

Health policy absolutely scandalous, but it reveals their shameful, or

even culpable, ignorance.

At the end of your article, you should substitute " our nationS leaders "

for " our nation's leaders " , because this a global disconnect.

With your permission, I shall mention your artivle/blog on the list

Medical_Translation for Professionals.

As for the solutions ? Educate, educate ! All means acceptable.

Thank you for drawing our attention on this nonsense.
