Day 4 - en los médicos clases de español.

                 WOW!! It is already day 4. The time seems to fly by. Today in our medical Spanish class we learned more about speaking with patients during consultations and physicals. We were sent out to survey someone on campus and ask them medical questions in Spanish. The activity went well and the participants that we asked were very accommodating and pleasant. When we came back to class we practiced more questions and answers that we would use when conversing with a patient. I think one of the most helpful things that we do in class is roll play.

Yesterday during my blog I said that I would talk about my favorite historical finding from the center, but first I need to clear up a little mistake from yesterday’s blog. I was told today that what I thought was a representation of using masks to promote a presidential candidate, was actually making fun of the current president and the political party that they represent.  Okay now I can talk about what historical finding that captured my interest. There is a structure called the la Rotunda de los Hombre llustres, which means, The Rotunda of the illustrious men. This structure caught my attention because after I read the information on the plaque, I found out that the Rotunda was renamed after a woman by the name of Rita Perez DeMoreno was inducted into the Rotunda because of her heroism of independence for Guadalajara. The name was changed to The Rotunda of the illustrious people. I thought that this was quite moving because a woman’s efforts changed a part of history.

One thing that I always have to remember with nursing is - YOU can always make a DIFFERENCE!!

Favorite Spanish sentence of the day – No gracias. Estoy muy llena?
