Description

These medical Spanish lessons are based on common clinical encounters written and recorded with my teachers from Latin America. We also interview real patients and providers from Latin America. In these interactive audio lessons, we cover basic to ADVANCED Spanish. In order to support this free podcast, I also offer member-only podcasts. In the interactive member lessons at docmolly.com, we take a deep dive into the Spanish you hear in the free lessons. We review the key vocabulary and grammar and interpret the key phrases between English and Spanish. This podcast is ideal for ANYONE (not just medical providers and interpreters) who wants to reach an advanced level through listening and speaking.

Intro to Newborn Hearing Screening in Spanish
2024/02/24
Welcome to the first lesson in our series on Newborn Hearing Screening in Spanish!This series was requested by one of our listeners, Hyun from Maryland. Hyun is a newborn hearing technician who wants to learn phrases in Spanish for a newborn hearing screening. Even if you never plan to perform a newborn hearing screening, I promise you will learn helpful vocabulary and phrases for your clinical practice.  In this series of 3 lessons,* We will learn how to ask about childhood hearing loss on either side of the family and complications during pregnancy.* As we describe the procedure, we will learn how to explain that the earbud will play chimes, that it is not painful, and that we can soothe the baby using the sucking reflex.* Finally, we will learn how to express a good result and explain that a bad result may be due to fluid in the ear and that we must allow some time for the ears to dry before retesting.This first lesson is free!

How to say runny nose in Spanish and a quick message!
2023/12/13
¡Hola a todos! He estado batallando con la siguiente pregunta: Do you have a runny nose? My teachers from Colombia, Mexico, and Guatemala all suggested, ¿Tiene mocos? Runny Nose vs Boogers However, Luis de Venezuela said this could also be interpreted as, “Do you have boogers?” 😜 In this case, maybe MOQUEO would be a better option.🤔 Multiple Options En fin, hay varias maneras de hacer la pregunta. Do you have a runny nose? Here’s my list of the options. Leave a comment below if you have more. Aquí tienen algunas otras opciones. ¿Tiene mocos? ¿Tiene moqueo? ¿Está moqueando? ¿Tiene escurrimiento nasal? ¿Tiene goteo nasal? ¿Le esta goteando la nariz? ¿Tiene la nariz aguada?* ¿Tiene la nariz suelta?* What people use will vary by country. The first three should be understood in Mexico and Guatemala. Not everyone will understand the last two. It will depend on the country they are from. MESSAGE FOR MEMBERS: I have decided to publish two member lessons covering questions related to the symptoms we learned in the last free lesson, https://docmolly.com/symptoms-of-the-ears-nose-throat-and-chest-in-spanish/ The first will cover the ears, eyes, nose, mouth, and throat symptoms. The second premium lesson will cover symptoms of the heart and lungs. ¡Hasta pronto!
