We do interpreting over the phone or video link-up a lot. In most cases, these jobs are fast pace conversations. Time-poor doctors trying to get through a million questions in first 5 minutes, all the while the patients try to answer every single questions with their life story.
We collected the most frequently used words and terms and put them in index cards based on work scenario. We keep them handy on the screen whenever we work off site. 😜😏
