"The doctor speaks English.  The patient doesn't.  Now what?"

In the most recent episode of CBC Radio's program White Coat Black Art, host Dr. Brian Goldman explores the impact of language barriers on the delivery of healthcare and the options that are currently available to, and being used by, health service providers.

From the CBC website:  "Bridging the language gap in medicine. We visit the Crossroads Clinic, a first stop for many refugees arriving in Toronto. A medical interpreter tells us why you shouldn't let kids interpret for parents. And, using Google Translate in the Dr.'s office."
