Listen "Interpreting in Healthcare: Trust, Access & Connection – Insights from Both Sides"
Episode Synopsis
Corey (Deaf) , Val (hearing interpreter) and I explore the crucial role of trust, advocacy, and human connection in medical settings, going beyond interpreting skills to discuss attitude, knowledge, and systemic barriers. We also unpack what's working, what’s not, and how interpreters, hospitals, and agencies can improve access. From emotional highs and lows, and life-changing diagnoses—to practical tools like setting boundaries and navigating VRI, this conversation sheds light on the personal aspects and high level views of medical interpreting.
