Thee was a news story on TV here the other day about the need for interpreters for doctors and hospitals. There are over a hundred different languages spoken by people here in Tulsa, and this is just a medium sized city. There are around 750,000 people in the metropolitan area. But when somebody has to see a doctor and nobody around speaks their language there can be huge problems figuring out what their problem is. As you said they need an interpreter that understands both sides of the conversation, and that can be hard to find in a medical setting.
