Medication Follow up Visit in Spanish

By Doc Molly 2 Comments

In today's podcast, we practice Spanish for a medication follow-up visit. This audio lesson was inspired by a listener who recently emailed me regarding questions she would like to ask during medication follow up visits in Spanish.  She has been doing this via virtual visits since the beginning of the COVID pandemic.

Special thanks to Elizabeth Cortez, my Spanish teacher from the San Pedro Spanish School in Guatemala who joins us of this lesson.

    My membership is not yet due for renewal. How can I apply the discount I just earned from taking the quiz when the renewal is due?

    I would rephrase the question regarding the female patient. I misunderstood, thinking it was a female doctor asking the question to a patient, presumedly a male.

      Hello Nancy,

      As a current Medical Spanish member you can renew at 50% off the regular price prior to expiration of your membership, and since you are already a member, when you supply your email at the end of the quiz, it is not added to any new mailing lists.

      In the lesson @1:21 above, we say, “Addressing a male patient formally… >>> “Lo llamo…”
      “Now addressing a woman….” >>> “La llamo….”

      Please let me know how I could have phrased it more clearly. Thank you, Nancy for supporting the podcast with your membership, for your comments, and for taking the quizzes. It’s exciting to see members interacting with the material. It allows us to see where people are having trouble and how we can improve future lessons.

      Un abrazo,
      Molly
