Practice questions for EMS when they arrive at the ER with a patient involved in a motor vehicle accident. This lesson is based on a list of phrases and questions put together by one of our members, an ER provider named Laila Powers. ¡Muchas gracias a Laila!  

And special thanks to my Spanish teacher from Mexico, Gloria Becerril, who helped me translate and record all the questions in this lesson.
