We heard some stories that will always remain in our hearts. #hapc
We are incredibly honored to have learned from parents as they generously shared what they wish we knew in caring for patients and their families at end-of-life. Hear their guidance at pediatrics.aappublications.o…

We've definitely been thinking a lot about this, too!
What cultural norms and assumptions are baked into the fundamental ideas of #palliativecare? What might be invisible to those of us who are trained and practicing in this field?
Thanks, @DrJRubenstein for always supporting the work of interpreters as part of the medical team! #hapc #medicalinterpreter

How do you interpret goals of care into another language? Which #PalliativeCare habits drive interpreters up a wall? What's it like being a conduit for so much emotionally-charged language?
Listen now to "Episode 5: Loss in Translation" on pedipal.org and find out!
It was such an honor to be part of this episode.
Thank you for providing a channel to talk about interpreting in Pediatrics Palliative Care. #hapc

One time we used an interpreter who had never had to have such a difficult conversation before. She needed consoling and debrief after the meeting. I hope she felt better afterwards. She was more openly distraught than the family was.
I totally agree! You want somebody neutral during medical conversations and somebody with training in MEDICAL interpretation.
I have some exciting news to share! :) Today, I got the logo for Connected Care. As some of you may know, I am a freelance translator and an interpreter. A few months ago, I started my own small business called Connected Care. 1/2
I wanted to be able to provide a service with compassion for providers that show human connection (like #hapc providers). What do you think of my new logo? :) 2/2

Have you ever described a patient or family as "lovely?" Ever thought about why?
Take a listen to Episode 4 at pedipal.org/634852/8584692 or on Apple, Google, Spotify, or the lovely podcast platform of your choice.
Tip: When you have a document and need it translated to another language, you’ll work with/hire a translator (written text).
When you need to talk to a patient that speaks another language, you’ll work with/hire an interpreter (oral conversation). #TheMoreYouKnow #MedTwitter
I want to be honest here. My first encounter with Palliative Care was not pleasant. I walked into that room without asking questions and I had no idea what #hapc was all about. As an interpreter, walking blind into an encounter is nerve wracking. #palliativecare

I started a palliative rotation today, and it seems I’ve found where they keep all the best people in the hospital.
My attending also directed me to this poet and beautiful poem as my assignment for the day.

Moral of the story: there's so much wrapped up in each little detail of the end of a person's life, and families benefit from specific guidance, and directly speaking into their fears, anxieties, emotions, and concerns.
Thanks @PediPal for inviting me as a guest on your podcast!
After some technical difficulties, we all ended up on some stairs. 😄
Fun times talking about interpreting for Pediatric Palliative Care. #hapc #pedsPC #medicalinterpreter
