While the latter forces are taking centre stage, it is not too late to redress the balance. One way in which this can be done is for different nations and cultures to accept, understand and benefit from one another’s communicative behaviour. Fitzgerald (2002), for instance, has demonstrated that various cultural variants of meeting routines can all be implemented to achieve different goals of meetings. Multilingualism provides a good start to achieving an understanding of variation in communicative styles.

Introduction1 Although there is a growing body of literature on the topic, many aspects of interpreting in medical settings are still like the unchartered territory on a map. The reason for this is not a lack of scholarly interest, but rather the difficulty of collecting and analyzing discourse data in medical institutions. Thus, while we already know a bit about different types of interpreter training and interpreting services or techniques on the one hand, and about the socio-political matters regarding immigration, culture and medicine on the other, we still know little about how communication operates when doctors and patients do not speak the same language and, therefore, need the help of a third, bilingual person.
