OK.. give me a minute  to digest this...
You're going to sue a doctor who won't pay for your interpreter...
but in order to do so, your attorney still requires you to pay for your own
interpreter...
so...

you're going to pay for an interpreter's services.. in order to communicate
with an attorney... to discuss how to take a doctor to court.. who won't pay
for your interpreter's services.

God Bless America.
