Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 02 May 2006 15:30 PDT

Hello nikononly-ga,

This is a tougher search than you would expect. My preliminary search
shows that there are some Hungarian organizations and community
resources in Michigan but I have not been able to find any Hungarian
doctors. Providing you with five would take quite a lot of digging.

At the price you?ve set I suggest a different approach. I don?t want
to duplicate what you?ve already done. Please tell me what attempts
have you made on your own to find a Hungarian-speaking doctor? Are you
part of or familiar with any Hungarian organizations in Grand Rapids
and/or Michigan?

I?ve found some Hungarian translators who might be able to help. They
might know of Hungarian doctors or could translate for you if you
can?t find a Hungarian doctor. I?ve also found some Hungarian
organizations whose members might know of Hungarian-speaking doctors.
Would information about this type of resources and connections help?

I look forward to your clarification.

Hi,
Thanks for trying to help me. All I did was google 'hungarian doctors
in michigan' and got nothing. Anyone speaking hungarian who has
something to do with the medical community or can point (my mother) in
the righ direction would be super helpful, or organizations would be
OK too. At this point I'm pretty desperate.

Hello nikononly-ga,

I sympathize with you about the difficulty of finding a
Hungarian-speaking doctor for your mother. I speak Hungarian and I
thought it might be easy to browse through the yellow page listings of
doctors to see if I could spot a Hungarian-looking name. This approach
was not productive but I think I?ve come up with some resources that
should help you find someone who can help interpret for your mother
even if you can?t find a Hungarian-speaking professional.

There is a significant Hungarian community in Michigan and I?ve
located some Hungarian organizations that might be able to help. They
might have the appropriate contacts in their membership or they might
be able to refer you to other resources. I?m providing you with a
variety of contacts in the hope that they will be able to connect you
with someone who can help your mother.

Wishing you well.

(This document lists two organizations that handle Hungarian
translations. I suggest that you call them and ask if they can
recommend a Hungarian-speaking doctor and if not, can they suggest
community organizations who might be able to help. As a last resort,
they might be able to find an interpreter who could assist your mother
at her doctor?s visits.)
