Patient Interview from San Pedro Guatemala

Today’s podcast is another patient interview in Spanish. I interviewed Letty while studying at the San Pedro Spanish School in Guatemala. She tells us about when she had Chikungunya.

Chikunguna (also spelled Chickungunya) is a viral illness transmitted by the same mosquito as Zika and Dengue. It causes fever and joint pain. Those infected usually recover in about a week, but the joint pain can last for months. Some also experience a rash, as Letty describes in this interview. In the premium podcast we review the vocabulary, key phrases and grammar. You can subscribe to the premium podcast at docmolly.com/subscribe/
