We Have a Heart for Medical Translations. Yet should we be living and working in a different culture or in other times, we could have a Liver for Medical Translations. Various organs in the human body have symbolised differing virtues across different cultures over time. Indeed, for most of recorded human history the liver has been seen as the most important organ in the body - the seat of not only the soul and wisdom, but the foundation of life its very self. The name “liver” derives from the Old English word life or Anglo-Saxon lifere. Being cocooned in one culture can also leave one unaware that body language can also have very different meanings in different cultures. One example is how it is considered very rude to wink in Hong Kong, so if you go there it may be wise not to do so.
