Medical Spanish and Spanish Grammar Review

We are kicking off a new series on International Health, covering common conditions encountered in rural Central America. This series is created in collaboration with one of our listeners, Dr. Richard Anstett. He regularly travels down to Central America to serve the under-served. This series will include pictures provided from Dr. Anstett's trips.

First Podcast: Scabies - Dialogue

After the first podcast, we published a series focusing on the grammar and vocabulary from the dialogue:

Breaking it down - Part 1 (Description of the rash)

Breaking it down - Part 2 (Interviewing a child, using the casual tú)

Breaking it down - Part 3 (Explaining treatment to the mother)

Ascariasis: A very common nematode infection worldwide.

Dialogue - Intestinal Worms (The clinical encounter in Spanish, with a little pathophysiology at the end of the podcast.)

In this series we focus on key grammar points as we translate the dialogue.

Intestinal Worms - Translation and Grammar - Part 1 (Greetings, Starting a History of Present Illness)

Intestinal Worms - Translation and Grammar - Part 2 (Describing the gastrointestinal symptoms)

Intestinal Worms - Translation and Grammar - Part 3 (Treatment, Patient education)
