Greeting Patients for Lab Tests in Spanish

Medical Spanish Podcast

Learn how to greet patients for their lab tests in Spanish.

This past summer, while studying at the Cultural Spanish School in San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala, my teacher, Henry Mejía, and I refreshed my earlier series covering lab tests and x-rays.

In this series, we’ll practice essential phrases and steps for obtaining various tests in Spanish, including blood tests, urine tests, ECGs, sputum samples, Mantoux tests, and performing X-rays. These lessons are quick, easy to follow, and will be posted weekly in our member feed.

In this first lesson, we will act as the medical receptionist, greeting patients in Spanish for their lab tests. I hope you enjoy and find this series on lab tests and X-rays helpful!
