Communicating with Latino patients

Tagged: , ,

“Health practitioners who are not fluent in Spanish should have no trouble deciphering words such as “doctor” (which is ‘el doctor’ in Spanish), abdominal (‘abdominal’) and dentist (‘dentista).’

For those thousands of other medical terms and phrases, such as “bleed” (sangrar), “open” (abrir) and “the baby has no pain” (no tiene dolor), there’s Ahora Hablo! Medical Edition (Megusta Publishing $9.95) by Margaret Healy Graham, a pocket guide tool to help doctors communicate with Spanish-speaking patients.”*
