| 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. Endocrine System. |
| Michael: In this lesson, you'll learn a sentence pattern for asking your patient about the endocrine signs and symptoms they are presenting. |
| PATTERN |
| Michael: First, let’s look at the Spanish sentence for, "Have you had excessive thirst?" |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido sed excesiva? |
| Laura: [slow] ¿Ha tenido sed excesiva? |
| 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 – "excessive thirst." |
| Laura: sed excesiva, [slow] sed excesiva, [normal] sed excesiva. |
| Michael: Altogether, we have... "Have you had excessive thirst?" |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido sed excesiva? [slow] ¿Ha tenido sed excesiva? [normal] ¿Ha tenido sed excesiva? |
| Michael: Here’s another example meaning, "Have you had increased urination?" 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, "increased urination." |
| Laura: ganas frecuentes de orinar, [slow] ganas frecuentes de orinar, [normal] ganas frecuentes de orinar. |
| Michael: Altogether we have... |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido ganas frecuentes de orinar? [slow] ¿Ha tenido ganas frecuentes de orinar? [normal] ¿Ha tenido ganas frecuentes de orinar? |
| Michael: "Have you had increased urination?" |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido ganas frecuentes de orinar? |
| 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 endocrine symptoms they have presented. |
| Michael: Use the sentence pattern to say "Have you had blurred vision?" "Blurred vision" is |
| Laura: visión borrosa [slow] visión borrosa [normal] visión borrosa. |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido visión borrosa? [slow] ¿Ha tenido visión borrosa? [normal] ¿Ha tenido visión borrosa? |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido visión borrosa? |
| Michael: Now imagine you are asking your patient "Have you had weight gain?" "Weight gain" is |
| Laura: aumento de peso, [slow] aumento de peso, aumento de peso. |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido aumento de peso? [slow] ¿Ha tenido aumento de peso? ¿Ha tenido aumento de peso? |
| [pause] |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido aumento de peso? |

| Michael: "Have you had weakness?" |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido debilidad? |
| Laura: ¿Ha tenido debilidad? |
| Michael: "Have you had cold intolerance?" |
