Medical Spanish
Rehearse the encounter before you have it.
A patient who talks back. Real intake, handoff and discharge, out loud. Say it wrong here, not on the floor.
No account. Your mic, your voice.
The encounters
Diego, with his mother Marisol and his grandmother Doña Carmen
Héctor, the off-going nurse, rushing through three patients before he leaves
Don Efraín, on oxygen, short of breath and short with strangers; his daughter Lucero
Marcelo, calling between work errands, playing it down until you ask straight
Hortensia, going home after three days, with her son Rodolfo asking the real questions
Real encounters, not phrases
An intake with a feverish six-year-old and two adults. A 2 a.m. post-op check. A discharge where the patient nods and has not understood. You speak; the patient answers like a patient.
The words come with the room
Each encounter carries the lines you will actually need. They are there while you talk, not in a list you study first.
Graded like the assessment
Every line gets a verdict: did the patient understand you, was the register right, what did you leave out. Each encounter ends with a readiness report, and you retake the weak spots.
