Is asking someone for their LMP in Spanish daunting? What about hospitalizations, surgeries, labs, oh my! Fret no more, I got your back. 

¡Bienvenidos! Welcome to Medical Spanish for Pediatric providers.

¡Empezamos! Let’s start.

Lesson 3: Obtaining the past medical history, el historial medico:

Primero un repaso, first, let's review:

Allergies = Alergias

Immunizations UTD? = Vacunas al paso?

Now let’s add, be sure to repeat after me;

Prenatal history = historial prenatal

Weeks of gestation: semanas de gestacion, *in practice what you might ask moms is;

Nacido a término? ¿Cuántas semanas? = Born full term? How many weeks?

Complications? = Complicaciones?

NICU stay? Estancia en UCIN (unidad de cuidado intensivo neonatal)

Past illnesses = enfermedades pasadas

Chronic medical illness = enfermedad crónica

Chronic medication use = Uso de medicina diario

Hospitalizaciones = Hospitalizaciones

Surgeries =  Cirugías

Dates = Fechas

Gynecologic history = Historial ginecológica

Menarche or age of first period onset: Menarquía, edad que empezaste tu primer período/menstruación. 

*Periodo o menstruacion, for period or menstrual period.

LMP: Primer día del último periodo/menstruación. 

Psychiatric history = Historial psiquiátrico

Psychiatric illness = enfermedad psiquiátrica

Screening test = prueba de revisión

Hemoglobin = hemoglobina *parents refer to this as the anemia test

Lead = plomo

TB test, PPD, Quantiferon = prueba de tuberculosis

Lipid panel = prueba de lípidos *you can say “panel de lípidos,” but I have never actually heard anyone say it that way. In reality your parents/patients will call it the “Cholesterol check,” they will say, “podemos chequear el colesterol?” Can we check cholesterol? Some will be familiar with Triglycerides as well. Colesterol y Trigliceridos. 

Date last performed = fecha del último examen

Primero, escuchamos la conversación:
First, let’s listen to the conversation:

Hola, buenos días. Soy Ana, Enfermera especializada en Pediatría.
Hola, soy Jesus, mi esposa Arelis y nuestro hijo Mateo.
Mucho gusto, ¿que los trae a la clínica hoy?

Let’s listen with translation:
Hola, buenos días. Soy Ana, Enfermera especializada en Pediatría.
Hi, good morning. I’m Ana, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner.
Hola, soy Jesus, mi esposa Arelis y nuestro hijo Mateo.
Hello, I'm Jesus, my wife Arelis and our son Mateo.
Mucho gusto, ¿que los trae a la clínica hoy?
Nice to meet you, what brings you into the clinic today?

Let’s break it down:

Hola = Hello (can also be Hi)

Buenos dias = Good morning

Soy Ana = I am Ana

Enfermera especializada en Pediatría = Pediatric Nurse Practitioner

Hola = Hello

Soy Jesus = I'm Jesus

Mi esposa Arelis = my wife Arelis

Y nuestro hijo Mateo = and our son Mateo

Mucho gusto = Nice to meet you

que = what

los trae = brings you

a = to

la = the

clínica = clinic

hoy = today

Now, repeat after me inserting your own name:

buenos días.
Soy Ana,
Enfermera especializada en Pediatría.
Hola,

Mi esposa Arelis
Y nuestro hijo Mateo.
Mucho gusto,
que
los trae
a la
clínica hoy?

Alternatively, if I were a Doctor I would say;
Soy Doctora Ana,
I am Doctor Ana.
If it were afternoon, I would say,
Buenas tardes
Good afternoon
Lastly, as you are exiting the room you might simply say,
Adios! Which literally means to God, but is meant as Goodbye! Adios!
Or
¡Qué pasen un buen día! Have a good day!
