| 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. Genitourinary System. |
| Michael: In this lesson, you'll learn a sentence pattern for asking your patient about the genitourinary signs and symptoms they are presenting. |
| PATTERN |
| Michael: First, let’s look at the Spanish sentence for, "Have you had problems urinating?" |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido problemas al orinar? |
| Laura: [slow] ¿Ha tenido problemas al orinar? |
| 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 – "problems urinating." |
| Laura: problemas al orinar, [slow] problemas al orinar, [normal] problemas al orinar. |
| Michael: Altogether, we have... "Have you had problems urinating?" |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido problemas al orinar? [slow] ¿Ha tenido problemas al orinar? [normal] ¿Ha tenido problemas al orinar? |
| Michael: Here’s another example meaning, "Have you had flank pain?" 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, "flank pain." |
| Laura: dolor en el costado, [slow] dolor en el costado, [normal] dolor en el costado. |
| Michael: Altogether we have... |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido dolor en el costado? [slow] ¿Ha tenido dolor en el costado? [normal] ¿Ha tenido dolor en el costado? |
| Michael: "Have you had flank pain?" |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido dolor en el costado? |
| 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. |

| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido sangre en la orina? [slow] ¿Ha tenido sangre en la orina? [normal] ¿Ha tenido sangre en la orina? |

| Laura: ¿Ha tenido sangre en la orina? |
| Michael: Now imagine you are asking your patient "Have you had smelly urine?" "Smelly urine" is |
| Laura: orina con mal olor, [slow] orina con mal olor, orina con mal olor. |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido orina con mal olor? [slow] ¿Ha tenido orina con mal olor? ¿Ha tenido orina con mal olor? |
