You are working with a doctor who has a tendency to speak very harshly to his patients. You are now interpreting for a male patient and see the doctor getting more and more frustrated.
The doctor suddenly says to the patient, "Are you stupid or what? I told you to take your medication early in the morning not after going to bed!"
What should you do?
Play the cultural clarifier role and ask the doctor if he is sure he wants you to interpret what he just said back to the patient
While we must interpret everything being said - those things pertain to information. Our other role is also to clarify the conversations and the emotions attached to those conversations.
