A
research published in 2003 by the medical journal "Pediatrics", which
analysed the audio transcripts of 13 visits of Spanish-speaking
patients to an American paediatrics clinic, found out that official
interpreters made 231 errors, 53 percent of them were judged to have
the potential to cause health problems. Amongst the errors were a
parent being told to put steroid cream on a child's entire body instead
of just the face, another one being asked to administrate an oral
antibiotic in the infant's ears instead of the mouth, and an
interpreter telling a mother not to answer questions about sexually
transmitted diseases or drug use.
