| 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. Neurologic System. |
| Michael: In this lesson, you'll learn a sentence pattern for asking your patient about the neurologic signs and symptoms they are presenting. |
| PATTERN |
| Michael: First, let’s look at the Spanish sentence for, "Have you had a headache?" |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido dolor de cabeza? |
| Laura: [slow] ¿Ha tenido dolor de cabeza? |
| 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 headache." |
| Laura: dolor de cabeza, [slow] dolor de cabeza, [normal] dolor de cabeza. |
| Michael: Altogether, we have... "Have you had a headache?" |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido dolor de cabeza? [slow] ¿Ha tenido dolor de cabeza? [normal] ¿Ha tenido dolor de cabeza? |
| Michael: Here’s another example meaning, "Have you had dizziness?" 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, "dizziness." |
| Laura: mareos, [slow] mareos, [normal] mareos. |
| Michael: Altogether we have... |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido mareos? [slow] ¿Ha tenido mareos? [normal] ¿Ha tenido mareos? |
| Michael: "Have you had dizziness?" |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido mareos? |
| 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 neurologic symptoms they have presented. |
| Michael: Use the sentence pattern to say "Have you had a loss of consciousness?" "Loss of consciousness" is |
| Laura: desmayos [slow] desmayos [normal] desmayos. |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido desmayos? [slow] ¿Ha tenido desmayos? [normal] ¿Ha tenido desmayos? |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido desmayos? |
| Michael: Now imagine you are asking your patient "Have you had numbness?" "Numbness" is |
| Laura: adormecimiento, [slow] adormecimiento, adormecimiento. |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido adormecimiento? [slow] ¿Ha tenido adormecimiento? ¿Ha tenido adormecimiento? |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido adormecimiento? |
| Michael: Let’s hear some more examples. |
