I once interpreted for a doctor who accidentally mixed up ‘coughing’ with ‘coughing up a lung’ while discussing a patient’s condition. The patient’s expression was priceless, and it took everything in me not to laugh! Anyone else encountered moments like these that made you smile, despite the seriousness of the situation?
I can relate! I once interpreted a question about a ‘sore throat,’ and the doctor added a dramatic ‘it’s not like he’s going to die!’ The look on the patient’s face was a mix of confusion and humor. Ever had to hold in laughter when it’s just too ridiculous to ignore?
That’s a hilarious mix-up! I once had to interpret a doctor saying, ‘You’ll feel a little pinch,’ right before giving a shot. The patient jumped, and I had to hold back laughter too.
Those moments are priceless! I once had to interpret a surgery prep and the surgeon joked about ‘going in for a snack’ — kept a straight face but it was tough! 
Anyone else had the crazy mix-ups?
