2. AT THE DOCTOR’S OFFICE
If you find yourself in need of a doctor, this information should help you communicate.
Doctors will need to ask many questions when they are examining you. These are
common questions that he/she will probably ask:
 ¿Como te sientes? (How do you feel)
 Que tienes
 ¿Que tienes? (What hurts?)
 ¿Cuánto tiempo hace que __________________? (How long has
________________ been happening)
After the examination, the doctor will provide you with advice. He/she may use the
phrase “Creo que debes” which means that he/she thinks you should do something. Here
is a list of things that a doctor may suggest:
 Dormir—to sleep
 Descansar—to rest
 Tomar algo—to take something (tomar agua—to drink water)
