Medical interpreters are essential in helping patients and healthcare providers communicate effectively. However, they often face difficult situations, such as emotional conversations, cultural misunderstandings, or ethical challenges. This presentation looks at common tough calls—like end-of-life talks, mental health crises, and tense interactions—and offers practical tips for staying professional, managing stress, and working well with medical teams. It also highlights the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and following interpreting standards to support both patient care and interpreter well-being.
