SPANISH FOR OB ULTRASOUND SERIES: General Phrases Part 1

EPISODE 39: In this episode of The Dr. Lexi Show, I sit down with three incredible guests to talk through real life Spanish phrases commonly used in maternal fetal medicine, ultrasound, and obstetric care. We discuss how language varies across countries, why certain phrases may mean very different things depending on culture, and how simply trying to communicate can help patients feel more comfortable and supported.Guests: • Dr. Mauricio La Rosa, MFM physician, from Peru• Dr. Antonio Santos, MFM fellow, from Puerto Rico• Cynthia Evans, MFM sonographer, from MexicoWe cover:- Common phrases used during fetal ultrasounds- How to explain pressure, movement, positioning, and exams- Differences between Spanish spoken in different countries- Funny and important cultural misunderstandings- Tips for sonographers, OBs, MFMs, nurses, and providers- Why patient communication and self advocacy matter so muchI also share a little bit about my own journey learning Spanish from Texas to Spain to Costa Rica and how my accent became a very interesting mix along the way. 😂One of my favorite parts of this conversation is how honest and real it is. Language is imperfect. Accents are different. Vocabulary changes from country to country. But patients notice when you try, and that effort can go a very long way in helping someone feel safe and cared for during pregnancy.Whether you are a provider, sonographer, student, or simply interested in medical communication, I hope this episode gives you practical tools and a few laughs along the way.FREE DOWNLOAD of today's phrases at https://www.drlexihill.com/spanishpart1Helpful Links:What Is A High Risk Pregnancy? https://youtu.be/wwQsDmzxPRYMore FREE helpful handouts at https://www.drlexihill.com/Click to learn more about Dr. Lexi.Click HERE to watch the podcast.CONNECT WITH DR LEXIWebsite; Instagram; Twitter; FacebookLISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCASTApple Podcasts; Spotify; Amazon
