The office policy is valid because of liabilities but the issue is what can be solved when the interpreters don’t show up? Is it fair for us to reschedule our appointment because the interpreter didn’t show up? It’s still a barrier issue.

I agree with this 100% because service providers are legally responsible to make sure the communication is very clear.

WHAT… but if the patient prefers written communication or something else then that would mean the interpreter wasn’t the most effective communication? Wouldn’t it? I was certain you’d say the patient had the final say & I think they should

Right, they do not want to get sued for any reason due to miscommunication.

Consent for treatment is only consensual if the patient is adequately informed. Communication is a must

This is so interesting to me as a TOD. A perspective I’ve never even thought of. Thank you for sharing.

Fascinating & makes sense!Welcome to America indeed! 😂 Now I'm curious what made your eye dr implement this policy? Were they sued or did they have a bad experience? 👁️👃👁️

Wow - not great. So what can patients do? I guess if you have the luxury of being able to shop around for your healthcare providers you can find one who supports you as you find best. They have the final say legally but that means they can choose to go with your preference as the patient, at least that is how it seems to me!

This is exactly what I was wondering after your first video about your eye doctor appointment. Thank you for sharing!
