Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
Michael: Hi everyone, I'm Michael.
Laura: And I'm Laura.
Michael: And welcome to Must-Know Medical Spanish Sentence Structures. Review of Systems. Pulmonary System.
Michael: In this lesson, you'll learn a sentence pattern for asking your patient about the pulmonary signs and symptoms they are presenting.
PATTERN
Michael: First, let’s look at the Spanish sentence for, "Have you had a cough?"
Laura: ¿Ha tenido tos?
Laura: [slow] ¿Ha tenido tos?
Michael: The pattern for asking your patient about the signs and symptoms they have presented has three elements. First, the verb meaning "have [you]." Note how the "you" is omitted from the Spanish sentence, because in Spanish the subject is implied by how the verb is conjugated.
Laura: ha, [slow] ha, [normal] ha.
Michael: Second, the verb meaning "had."
Laura: tenido, [slow] tenido, [normal] tenido.
Michael: And last, the signs and symptoms you are asking the patient about – "a cough."
Laura: tos, [slow] tos, [normal] tos.
Michael: Altogether, we have... "Have you had a cough?"
Laura: ¿Ha tenido tos? [slow] ¿Ha tenido tos? [normal] ¿Ha tenido tos?
Michael: Here’s another example meaning, "Have you had shortness of breath?" First, the verb "have [you]."
Laura: ha
Michael: Second, the word meaning "had."
Laura: tenido
Michael: And last, the signs and symptoms you are asking the patient about – in this case, "shortness of breath."
Laura: dificultad al respirar, [slow] dificultad al respirar, [normal] dificultad al respirar.
Michael: Altogether we have...
Laura: ¿Ha tenido dificultad al respirar? [slow] ¿Ha tenido dificultad al respirar? [normal] ¿Ha tenido dificultad al respirar?
Michael: "Have you had shortness of breath?"
[pause]
Laura: ¿Ha tenido dificultad al respirar?
Michael: The sentence pattern is,
Laura: Ha tenido + [Sign or Symptom].
Michael: "Have you had + [Sign or Symptom]."
Laura: Ha tenido + [Sign or Symptom].
PRACTICE
Michael: Let’s practice.
Michael: Imagine you’re questioning your patient about the pulmonary symptoms they have presented.
Michael: Use the sentence pattern to say "Have you had chest pain that worsens with deep breathing?" "Chest pain that worsens with deep breathing" is
Laura: dolor de pecho que empeora con respiraciones profundas [slow] dolor de pecho que empeora con respiraciones profundas [normal] dolor de pecho que empeora con respiraciones profundas.
[pause]
Laura: ¿Ha tenido dolor de pecho que empeora con respiraciones profundas? [slow] ¿Ha tenido dolor de pecho que empeora con respiraciones profundas? [normal] ¿Ha tenido dolor de pecho que empeora con respiraciones profundas?
[pause]
Laura: ¿Ha tenido dolor de pecho que empeora con respiraciones profundas?
Michael: Now imagine you are asking your patient "Have you had leg swelling in one leg?" "Leg swelling in one leg" is
Laura: hinchazón de una pierna, [slow] hinchazón de una pierna, hinchazón de una pierna.
[pause]
Laura: ¿Ha tenido hinchazón de una pierna? [slow] ¿Ha tenido hinchazón de una pierna? ¿Ha tenido hinchazón de una pierna?
[pause]
Laura: ¿Ha tenido hinchazón de una pierna?
