interpreter
Yes, I worked for a hospital and normally the hospital system will have interperters. So lets say if someone is deaf. The hospital will call the interperter and say we have so and so. The patient actually waits to be seen (unless emergency) until the interperter arrives. Same thing if they speak spanish, german, or whatever. HOped i answered your question
interpreter phones in the ER
How does that work in the ER when they need an interpreter for a patient? I'm thinking there are on-call interpreters (or translators) for specific languages but I'm curious if anyone knows anything about this. 
Medical report interpreter
Perhaps this will lead to a new profession or expansion of one that already exists---that of medical report interpreter. The scenario is that of a legal case involving medical reports, such as in personal injury lawsuits and such, and the need is for medical language specialists to interpret the medical reports for law firms that are trying to interpret the facts of a case.
