Health interpreters and translators often face unpredictable assignments
in the multifaceted healthcare setting. This book is based on the very
popular international publication (Crezee, 2013) and has been
supplemented with commonly asked questions and glossaries in Russian.
Just like the 2013 textbook, this practical resource will allow
interpreters and translators to quickly read up on healthcare settings,
familiarizing themselves with anatomy, physiology, medical terminology
and frequently encountered medical conditions, diagnostic tests and
treatment options.
This is an exceptionally useful and easily accessible handbook, in
particular for interpreters, translators, educators and other
practitioners working between Russian and English.
Russian-speakers represent a rich and diverse range of historical,
religious and cultural traditions. This book covers some of those, while
also describing the Russian health system, and touching on cultural
beliefs and natural medicine approaches.
This unique book is an indispensable vade mecum ('go with me') for
anyone wanting to navigate language access involving speakers of Russian
in the health setting.
