| Evaluation Dialogue Between Doctor-Patient’s Family: |
| Doctor |
Good afternoon. Are you Mr. Pérez’s family? |
| Family |
Hola, doctor. Somos nosotros, ¿cómo está Antonio? |
| Doctor |
Well, he’s asleep right now. The operation went well, but it was very long and aggressive. We’ll wake him up slowly in the ICU to do tests and make sure there aren’t any complications. |
| Family |
¿Y cuándo vamos a verlo, doctor? |
| Doctor |
Come inside in 15 minutes. He’ll be asleep and you’ll have to give us your contact information and phone numbers. Tomorrow at 1:00 PM you can see him again, and we’ll explain how he’s been progressing during the first hours, post-operation. |
| Family |
A mí nadie me explicó eso, yo quiero ver a mi hermano ya. |
| Doctor |
Don’t worry, you can come in to see him later. We’re taking care of him and putting monitors on to make sure everything is OK. |
| Family |
¿Y cuánto tiempo va a estar en la UCI mi hermano? |
| Doctor |
Everything depends on how he progresses, how he responds to surgery, and the complications that can arise with this type of operation. Your brother is in good hands, and we’ll do everything we can to ensure his fast recovery. |
| Family |
¿Y le funcionan bien todos los órganos o hay algún problema? |
| Doctor |
Right now, he needs a small amount of medication for his heart and blood pressure. This is normal in this type of procedure, and we can most likely reduce the amount in the next few hours. |
| Family |
Vale, muchas gracias, estamos aquí esperando para cuando podamos pasar. |
