Full Summary: Pablo injured his ankle and is seeing a PA, Melinda, at the orthopedic on-call clinic. He’s waited a while to be seen for his injury, is in quite a bit of pain, and as a result tensions are high. Melinda explains her role as a physician assistant and Pablo explains how he injured himself. However, the way in which Pablo was injured may pose a challenge in terms of his treatment plan.

Main Challenges: It’s not uncommon for patients to experience delays in receiving medical treatment. This can result in patients becoming impatient or even upset at the medical team, potentially posing a challenge for the interpreter if exchanges become heated. Additionally, due to the nature of worker’s compensation laws in many states, some medical facilities are unable or unwilling to treat patients for workplace injuries. This makes understanding exactly where, when, and how a patient sustained an injury incredibly important in the proper routing of their medical care.
