To express an action that occurs on one’s own body (e.g. breaking a bone, injuring a joint, washing your hands), we use a reflexive verb with a definite article (el,la) before the part of the body.

¿Se le zafó / desprendió / salió el esquí?
¿Did your ski come off?

Zafarse, desprenderse, salirse
To come off

¿Está tomando algún anticoagulante? (más común)
¿Está tomando algún diluyente de sangre?
Are you taking a blood thinner?

This module is based on phrases and questions suggested by one of our members, an ER doc named Laila Powers. !Gracias a Laila! Y gracias a mis profesores de español, Elizabet Cortez de Guatemala y Gloria Becerril de México, who helped me to translate and record the questions and phrases in Spanish.
