Abstract
English language skills are growing fast among the world's population, and especially in Europe. Health professionals cannot and should not be excluded from this group, as achieving fluent and effective communication with foreign patients is a basic skill in our profession. The basic purpose of this paper is to provide a simple bilingual script that may help to prepare a medical record in emergency medical situations in rural areas. The knowledge of English for any professional in the area of Health is an obvious need in a world where the language of communication is English. The bilingual script contributes to the achievement of an initial syndromic diagnoses in the urgent care of a foreign patient, and with this script, we make it easier to register the foreign patients treated in our health area.
