I had a telemedicine consult with a patient from the North East yesterday. I took the assistance of a Translator to facilitate the conversation . It was a a male patient who came down on me with a torrential down pour of musculoskeletal complaints. Finally he complained to us “I have lot of sexual problems.”. Immediately the translator, fortunately a male reacted and said “ Do not worry about that I. You have , I have and the Doctor also has the same problem.😜.What surprised me was how is it the translator knew my problem. This was my last Telemedicine consult and I retired hurt like in an IPL match .
Translators in medical consults can translate a Doctor’s life to become miserable 😖 If a person cannot laugh at himself , I consider him to be dead ☠️
