The Liability of Mistranslation and Interpretation Errors in the Medical Field

Some graduating physicians do not take the Hippocratic Oath now. “First do no harm” has been replaced with a more modern version. This doesn’t make it any less important to protect patients at all costs. There is a growing problem, however, and it is getting in the way of the physicians’ ability to always provide the best care for their patients. This problem is a lack of qualified medical translators and interpreters, which is leading to medical errors and leaving patients with long-term pain and suffering—even death!
