Best Answer

A medical Interpreter is somebody who translates everything the doctor says to the patient who speaks a different language from the doctor. The Medical Interpreter translates because the patient would get scared or frightened because they do not understand what the doctor is saying. The patient would stay calm if they understood what the Doctor was saying.

Must you have the patient's permission to enlist an interpreter to explain medical procedures in the patient's native language?

If you can not communicate with the patient how can you first get a permission. Reasonably it should be OK to use an interpreter to explain things to a patient but you would need the patient's permission to involve the interpreter in discussions relating to the patient's medical condition. Presumably the interpreter could assist in obtaing this consent.

What is a deaf interpreter?

A Deaf interpreter is a Deaf person who is a native user of (ie) American Sign Language-ASL, and a member of the Deaf community. The interpreter can work as a bridge between a Deaf person, an interpreter and the non- signing hearing person. For example, the Deaf person may be from another country, and cannot rely on the interpreter alone, the Deaf interpreter watches the interpreter then modifies the communication in order that the Deaf person has a better understanding of the message. You may have meant interpreter for the Deaf?
