Humor is Not Lost in Translation | Dr. Diana Ruggiero | TEDxMemphis

[@xavierilorenzo]

The anecdote about the "passport" confusion perfectly illustrated the importance of cultural context. It's not just about language- it's about understanding the person.

[@dianaruggiero11]

Wow, Thank you all so much for your incredible support!

[@giokaren]

Definitivamente un tema muy importante no solo para el ámbito de salud pública sino para muchos entes de servicio social. Gracias Dra. Diana por esta grandiosa presentación.

[@maysongrisel]

Great point about the dual meanings of words in different languages. It's wild how the same word can lead to completely opposite outcomes depending on the contexts.

[@dianaruggiero11]

Thank you for your post! I appreciate it very much

[@noaholiverauthentic]

This is such a valuable perspective and I hope it gets taken seriously! Also the way this could create so many jobs is also a positive!!

Un video ejemplar para promocionar la humildad cultural y una defensa apasionada a la necesidad de intérpretes médicos cualificados.

[@dianaruggiero11]

Muchas gracias, tu eres una profesora muy buena y espero que lo puedas usar!

[@lyndsayramster]

I think even when the doctor speaks your language you can leave feeling like you've no idea what they've just said

[@dianaruggiero11]

Yes! I could not agree more! Medical Language is a special language... Thank you for the comment!

[@LocomateMachine]

Doctors speeding through red lights is wild... "inflict no harm."

[@blairfavers]

How does it work? Is there 1 person per foreign language per hospital? Do the interpreters also have medical experience or are they only there to translate?

[@dianaruggiero11]

Great question! They only Translate the message, For that they need to know Medical terminology

[@siarajardine]

Absolutely and none of this is made any easier but how freakin difficult English is to begin with

[@garymacdonald5370]

What is an actionable solution for clinics that can't afford full-time interpreters?

[@addisonpassini]

The example of Willie Ramirez was so sad. How is this still happening in 2024?

[@iamtheyesmanallthetime]

Frustrating that healthcare systems ignore this issue. Interpreters should be viewed as essential, like any other piece of medical equipment.

How's the overreaction on "your son had an accident."
