We already make frequent use of an interpreter service but for really long talks I find it far from ideal. I'm also not always totally convinced that the spinal injury jargon is correctly translated since we haven't been able to find a medical interpreter. 

We also have good contact with some people of a Polish community center. The provide very good social support but can't help us on the medical aspects. 

Anyhow I'm hoping to provide the patient with some information in Polish. So the patient can process the information in their own time and pace.
