SPANISH FOR OB ULTRASOUND SERIES: General Phrases Part 2

EPISODE 40: One of my favorite things about medicine is learning from other people and hearing how care looks a little different depending on where you trained, where you’re from, and who you care for. So for this episode of The Dr. Lexi Show, I brought together a group of friends and colleagues from different backgrounds to talk about something that honestly does not get discussed enough - communicating with Spanish speaking patients during pregnancy care and ultrasound visits. Guests: • Dr. Mauricio La Rosa, MFM physician, from Peru • Dr. Antonio Santos, MFM fellow, from Puerto Rico • Cynthia Evans, MFM sonographer, from Mexico Let me tell you, this episode turned into one of the most fun conversations. We talked about: - Common phrases used during fetal ultrasounds - Differences in Spanish between countries and regions - Words that mean totally different things depending on where someone is from - How sonographers and providers can better connect with patients - Why simply trying to speak someone’s language can make such a difference This episode is not about being perfect. It’s about making patients feel comfortable, respected, and cared for. Whether you’re an OB, MFM, sonographer, nurse, trainee, or just someone interested in medical communication, I think you’ll really enjoy this one.
