A quick-thinking paramedic downloaded an iPhone app so she could treat an accident victim who did not speak English. Nicola Draper searched for the online Medical Polish translator tool when she realised the lorry driver could not understand her, reports The Mirror. She said: Its a great tool. It allowed me to communicate with the patient without the need for an interpreter or the cost to the service of using the language line. The trucker, who was involved in a road crash near Colchester, Essex, was given the all clear and continued on his journey. Gary Sanderson, spokesman for the ambulance station in Witham, Essex, where Ms Draper is based, said: She used the app to ascertain injuries. Ambulance crews have to make quick decisions and think on their feet. They have access to a language line and carry multilingual phrase books, but Nicola used her initiative with the iPhone app. UT
