Medical Spanish for End-of-Life Care | A Story from Guatemala

This is the fifth and final lesson in la historia de Ingrid. Follow a Guatemalan family through the last days of a leukemia battle in this Medical Spanish end-of-life patient interview. Luis González describes alarming lab results, a doctor's shocking words about Ingrid's white blood cell count, and the urgent return to the hospital on a Saturday afternoon — where Ingrid walked in on her own power despite critical lab values.
