This consecutive interpreting practice script is about a woman named Angela who has a phobia of needles and is getting her blood drawn. In this script, the person drawing her blood, Michelle, is very understanding of Angela's situation, and this puts Angela at ease.

I decided to write two versions of this script, one in which the person drawing the patient's blood responds positively (this one) and one in which they respond negatively. You can find the negative version of this script here: [ Ссылка ]
I also released a video talking about *my* phobia of needles and how I manage it as a medical interpreter working in the healthcare field: [ Ссылка ]
I decided to write this script and create this video, not only for consecutive interpreting practice, but also as a sort of social story to illustrate to healthcare workers how a little bit of compassion can go a long way!
