French translation

[WeymouthJohn]

I'm hoping (intending?) to spend time in France this summer. I'm quite happy with the French health service from previous experience and don't feel any great need for taking out health insurance. After all the French look quite healthy without air ambulances. My French is quite good and I've been able to communicate with French medics in the past. (COPD is, I think, broncho-pneumopathie chronique obstructive; BPCO).

I would like to carry a medical history with me translated into French. My GP has given me a pretty comprehensive one in English and I would like to get it translated.

Can anyone recommend a translation service?

At work we use a Company called Absolute Translations (we tried quite a few before we found this one, who are very good, quick and professional, and cheaper than most, so a good deal all round).
