Discussing Hypoglycemia in Spanish

Monday, August 17, 2026 • Duration 05:37

How do you counsel a patient on low blood sugar in Spanish? In this episode, Daniela Grave plays the role of a doctor counseling a patient with diabetes about hypoglycemia. You'll hear the clinical term "hipoglucemia" alongside the phrase Spanish-speaking patients actually use — "un bajón de azúcar." Then we look at one word that causes real confusion in the exam room: mareo, which can mean vertigo, faintness, or nausea.

Activities of Daily Living in Spanish

Thursday, July 23, 2026 • Duration 15:14

When admitting a patient to the hospital, understanding their level of independence is crucial. Can they dress themselves, cook for themselves, and get around safely? Do they drive? This information helps us understand the events that led up to a patient's presentation and whether they'll need extra support once they return home. In this beginner-friendly lesson, we're covering how to ask about independence, getting around, and driving in Spanish.

ADHD in Spanish – Problemas en la escuela

Thursday, January 16, 2020 • Duration 07:07

What you are about to hear is a clinical encounter in Spanish about a girl who is diagnoesed with attention deficity hyperactivity disorder / ADHD (trastorno de déficit de atención con hiperactividad / TDAH en español). The original dialogue was written in English by a listener, Dr. Craig Horn. Dr. Horn is a pediatrician who treats patients with ADHD. He emailed me the following.

“Philosophically, ADHD can be a beautiful gift of high energy and creativity when developed properly. ADHD is not a disease but simply who we are. I think the medical/psychiatric model of ADHD as a disease state is hurtful.”

I hope you find this perspective as helpful as I do as you learn more and talk to people about ADHD in Spanish.

We put together today’s dialogue while studying at the San Pedro Spanish School in Guatemala. My friend Sonja Um-Siri (an interpreter) translated the clinical encounter on ADHD into Spanish with her teacher Francisco González Yojcóm. Then, we recorded the encounter with Francisco, my teacher, Elizabeth Cortez, and Eliza’s daughter, Nicole.
