| 3. Impartiality of non-egotism: Interpreter shall be impartial and unbiased, maintain
professional detachment and refrain from inappropriate self-promotion. 4. No conflict of interest: Interpreter shall disclose any real or perceived conflict of interest. 5. Professional development: Interpreters shall maintain and improve his/her skills and knowledge through professional training/education and interactions with colleagues and specialists in related fields. Interpreters will refrain from accepting assignments beyond their professional skills, language fluency, or level of training. Let us go forth and interpret accurately, confidentially, completely, with integrity and professionalism. 11 Task 4: Have a look at these situations and state what code of ethics is violated. An English doctor gives a non-English- speaking patient a prescription, explaining that it is for some suppositories. The interpreter is too embarrassed to admit that he does not know the equivalent word for "suppository" in the patient’s language, so he uses an equivalent word for "pill" instead. The patient takes the medication orally and ends up in the emergency room. ……………………………….. 3. The doctor asks the patient a question. The interpreter and the patient get into a long discussion, while the doctor sits and waits, completely left out. Finally the interpreter turns to the doctor and says "She said no." When the doctor asks exactly what the patient said, the interpreter smiles and says, "Oh, it wasn’t important. She just means no." …………………………………….. 1. After her appointment, a patient's husband asks the interpreter what the doctor said to his wife. Trying to be helpful, the interpreter discloses the happy news that the patient is pregnant. This is not happy news to the husband, as his wife has just arrived from their home country, after being apart from him for 6 months. The couple leaves the clinic with the husband angrily muttering thinly veiled threats of violence. ………………………………………. |
