Abstract:<br><br>
"Getting information off the internet is like taking a drink from a fire
hydrant.” (Mitchell Kapor, n.d.). Medical concepts and terminology can
be very confusing for the uninitiated interpreter or translator. This
book will allow interpreters and translators to quickly read up on
healthcare settings, familiarizing themselves with anatomy, physiology,
medical terminology and frequently encountered conditions,
investigations and treatment options. Health translators working on
medical reports will be able to find commonly used abbreviations. Those
who have been asked to translate health information material into
community languages will be able to gain a good basic overview of
related background information and crosscultural issues. Those who teach
health interpreters or translators will find this book helpful for
structuring their curriculum. Information is presented in a consistent,
logical and informative manner, intended to support, rather than
overwhelm.<br><br>
