Third Translation Experience

I had my third translation experience on Monday, October 24, 2011. I was with a new doctor, a gastroenterologist who practiced internal medicine in the clinic, since the doctor I normally assisted was sick. There were very few patients this particular day as I only saw two. This doctor, although born and raised British and living in Houston for 50 years, spoke Spanish very well without having taken classes. All I helped in was to translate what a male patient had to say about his general complaints of general weight loss with ballooning of the stomach. Overall it was an interesting experience to be with another doctor and see his perspective on the health crises of the United States, which he puts particular blame on readily available unhealthy foods.
