You respond to an "unknown medical problem" in an area commonly populated by Hispanic Americans. You arrive to find several individuals speaking to a middle-aged man. They seem to be concerned about him and motion you toward the patient. You attempt to gain information about the situation, but your patient does not speak English and you do not speak Spanish. The patient has no outward appearance of any problems. How would you best manage this situation? ​

Answer:

I will make use of the translater. The Google translater is easily available through the smartphone, and I will make use of that. I will say hey Google to my Android phone, or use Siri on Apple phone, and ask the patient to speak in Spanish on the smartphone, and then ask the Google Assistant or Siri, to translate the message for me into English. Thus, I will come to know what he is speaking, and probably make an assumption about his health condition. Thus, the issue of the language barrier is no more an obstacle, and we can understand what a person is speaking, and no matter whatever his/her language is.
