It's never happened to me. However, on several occasions while interpreting for patients, I've made some goofy mistakes:Lately I've caught myself writing/ typing my English accidently spelling some of the words in Spanish. Has this ever happened to any of you?
Sometimes the person with limited English proficiency will utter a simple "thank you so much" or simply "Thank you" in English, and I'll interpret it back to the provider in Spanish. Weird. I know.
I guess I can chalk it up to being in a zone, interpreting everything that is spoken in the room.
