A day in the life of… Barbara Rayes
|
Texas, USA (HC): Interpreting a doctor's information for her Spanish-speaking husband was the last thing Barbara Rayes wanted to do as she held her dying newborn daughter. "It wasn't my job to interpret; that was taking away the few moments of her life that I had with her," said Rayes. "It was an unfair burden at a time of true crisis in our lives." Nearly 15 years later, Rayes is trying to eliminate that burden for others by training interpreters and translators at the Phoenix Children's Hospital.
