EMT/PARAMEDIC SCENARIO: A HEART ATTACK VICTIM * We're paramedics. What's the matter? Somos paramedicos. ?Que tiene? * Sit down and rest. How do you feel? Dizzy? Sientese y descansese. ?Como se siente? ?Mareado? * I think your husband's having a heart attack. Creo que su marido (esposo) tiene un ataque al corazon (ataque cardiaco). * Sir, I have some questions. Can you understand me? Senor,tengo algunas preguntas. ?Pued e comprenderme? * How long have you had these pains? ?Hace cuanto tiempo que usted tiene estos dolores? * Can you describe them and say where they are? ?Puede describirlos y decir donde estan? SURVIVAL SPANISH SHORTCUTS * Establish eye contact with the person you're speaking with. * Speak louder than normally and project your voice. Put your face closer to theirs than you would normally. * Try to speak Spanish as clearly as you can. Repeat whenever possible and use lots of hand gestures. * Ask Spanish-speakers to slow down (mas despacio), repeat (repita) and use please (por favor) when you can. * Use English-speaking children to serve as interpreters for their parents. Give numbers one at a time. Better yet, have them write them down . * Don't be shy when you start out speaking Spanish, even if you feel a bit awkward at first. Latinos really appreciate your effort. You're making the effort to be a better professional. It's what you say, not how you say it. * Take charge of the conversation. You're calling the shots. Victims need your help, they must get the point across to you anyway possible. * Make sure you're speaking to Spanish speakers. Don't assume all victims with dark features speaking a foreign language are Lat inos.
