Source text - Finnish 22-vuotias perusterve mies. Opiskelee lentäjäksi. Äidillä on ollut nuorempana migreeni. Helmikuun alussa ensimmäisen kerran esiintynyt näköhäiriö, sahalaita esiintyi näkökentässä ja laaajentui. Potilas tarkistanut ja näköhäiriö oli molempien silmien näkökentässä. Ei ollut puheongelmia eikä raajaoireita eikä puutumista. Kun näköhäiriö korjaantui, tuli valtava päänsärky, voimakkuudeltaan 8/10 VAS. Vastaavia kohtauksia esiintynyt yhteensä noin kuusi kertaa. Potilaan mukaan kaikki ovat toistuneet täsmälleen samalla tavalla. Näköhäiriön kesto 0.5-1.5 tuntia. Päänsärky on koko päässä, aivan invalidisoivaa. Pahenee rasituksessa. Huomattava ääni-ja valoherkkyys. Lisäksi pahoinvointia. Buranaa on ottanut kerrallaan 800 mg ja sillä päänsäryn kesto 20 minuuttia – 1 tunti. Muutaman kerta kuitenkin päänsärky helpottunut vain nukkumalla. Ei ole huomannut altistavia tekijöitä. Säännölliset elämäntavat. Ei tupakoi.

Experience
Years of experience: 19. Registered at ProZ.com: Mar 2010.
I am a professional full-time translator/ editor specialising in medical, legal, financial and commercial translations.
My qualifications are BA 1st in English and an MBA from Warwick University, UK. My 20 year career as a management consultant/ project manager/ HR specialist in blue chip companies in Finland, Denmark and the UK, such as IBM and Ernst & Young, gives me an excellent background for translating financial articles, bids & tenders, project documentation or annual reports etc.
I have specialised in medical translations now for over 10 years, and have a wealth of experience in translating patient histories, medical white papers, pharmaceutical brochures, medication particulars etc.
I am a published author and a member of Society of Authors' Translators Association in the UK.
My other interests include sailing, cooking, classic cars and bikes, and I can therefore produce good translations in all of these areas.
Lastly, I am very disciplined. I deliver exactly what is required, be that a back translation, translation, edit or proofread, and always on time. I will always ask whether the assignment is for publication or information and also query any points that may be unclear. As a published author, I can translate something in the style of the author, adapt a text culturally or, rewrite a text in plain English/ Finnish, if required.
