In this video, I'll share with you the story of Willy Ramirez and the 70 million dollar word. This well-known story in our industry highlights the severe impact that an incorrect interpretation can have on people's lives.
The information I've shared is based on what I've learned from this story after reading about it from reliable sources. I mean no disrespect to any of the parties involved. However, if someone directly involved in this story finds an inaccuracy, please let me know, and I'll be happy to post a correction immediately.

Thank you for sharing this, I use this example a lot when I educate my clients about the importance of using professional and vetted medical interpreters. Gracias :)
Thanks, Aggie! It's a great example, indeed 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for sharing this light in so much darkness (sad stories). I've seen similar situations that had turned into irreversible mistakes due to the lack of support (Interpreters) to the patients from the HOSPITALS 😔
Thank you so much for sharing this! It's really sad, but I'm hopeful that as we raise awareness on the issue, things like this will happen less and less.
@Interprepedia I would like to ask you something but wonder if I can do it via email please...
Very interesting..I remember my professor talking about this story..
Yes, that's an incredible story...
What a terrible painful story. Yesss please intoxicado es food poisoned.... :(
It is still a "common practice" to use anyone to interpret, and this denies the rights of the patients. One "anecdote". I used to volunteer as an interpreter for a clinic for low income people - this is how I started my profession lol-, So, while i was helping one patient to fill out a form I overheard this dialogue/interpretation made by a teen age Colombian boy, acting as an interpreter for a Brazilian woman. She said "me duele la vagina". The young man said to the Dr: "she says she has pain in her belly". The woman said, nooo belly noo, vayina. The young me said "ahh she says her pain is in her bladder". The woman said? bladder? Que es eso bladder? nooo pain here, here, la vagina and she pointed out her .. you know... I ran to help but already the situation was too weird and too funny...
Yes 😞 it's sad these things keep happening. Thanks for stepping in to help in that situation.
Yes I remember this story from the Bridging the Gap training.
That's excellent that they are talking about it. I'm surprised I only learned about it years after I started interpreting.
This is quite a common mistake by those who do not command both Spanish and English proficiently . False friend, he should have said 'food poisoned'.
@@estheraguirre3807 Well-said! Very common mistake ineed. Thanks for sharing!
Wow
Yes... my thoughts exactly :(
wao que ingles me bello tienes que tiempo tienes hablando el idiomas
Hola Jordano! Muchas gracias! Pues aunque nunca estudié formalmente inglés, yo diría que desde pequeña aprendí porque viajé un par de veranos a EEUU y aprendí algo con los niños en la calle y luego en mi adolescencia, con canciones y con la televisión seguí aprendiendo.
Is it common practice (in the U.S.) to pay medical interpreters a percentage of what they would have been paid if they arrive to the hospital and are no longer requested to interpret?
Hi, Isaias 👋 Great question! I can’t speak for everyone but in my case I charge the full fee if the assignment is canceled in less than 24 hours.
👏🏻👍

Thank you so much for this kind comment! What an incredible story, right? I was surprised I had not heard of it from the very first moment I started interpreting.
