Why Do Medical Documents Need to Be Translated?
By Camille Bouvet, Lingolet Intern
Medical staff can receive new instruments, new drugs to be prescribed, or new machines. And sometimes, the notices for new equipment are in a foreign language. In this case, the medical staff must use a certified translator to avoid dosing errors or damage to the latest equipment.
This has already happened in France: they mistranslated the instructions for a new machine, and many patients overdosed. Four patients even died from it. The medical language is exact, and during a recent practice, a new mode of operation, the comprehension must be optimal.
