Illustration of Joseph dreaming. Public Domain.A second-career medical interpreter for Russian immigrants in Boston contemplates his role—a biblical Joseph? a robot?—and the system that brings him and his clients together.Like biblical Joseph, you are an interpreter of dreams and maladies, with the emphasis on the latter and a fondness for the former. Unlike him, you are nationally certified and have never been sold or thrown in jail.You were born in the country that professed to be a workers’ and peasants’ paradise but made healthy people sick and then abandoned them. You live in a different country, the one that made a very vocal point of helping the sick, as long as someone pays for it.
