Conversation Guides

Imagine that a patient who does not speak a word of English comes into the emergency room and there are no interpreters available. How might communication be possible when you need essential information immediately from the patient? While we strongly encourage the use of a qualified interpreter, these conversation guides have been developed when you need to communicate without an interpreter.
