Abstract:
Latino health deserves intense focus in promoting a just health care system.

The following essay is a combination of actual patient encounters through my experiences serving Spanish-speaking patients, as a medical student and Spanish speaker, and a reflection on the clash between impersonal interpretation services and Hispanic cultural values. I then present potential initiatives to improve rapport in patient encounters while maintaining the standard of care across foreign language barriers.
