Is Your Spanish Good Enough to Save Your Life in a Medical Emergency?

10/25/2016

A friend told me how she had passed out on the beach and several locals and a taxi driver - who wouldn’t take a peso - rushed her to the hospital where she fully recovered.  Such is the warmth and humanity of the Mexican people.  Mexican doctors put the “care” in healthcare, but when every second counts, they need our help to give us the best care possible.
 
Is your Spanish good enough to save your life in a medical emergency? Can you make it clear to the first responders and ER doctors who you are, what allergies or reactions to drugs you may have, what medications you take, if you are diabetic or have a pacemaker? Without this information, your care may be severely compromised. 

What if you are alone when something bad happens and you end up in surgery, how will the hospital contact your significant others?
 
What if you are unconscious? Who will speak for you? It’s a hard question with an easy answer: Carry a Spanish-language In Case of Emergency (ICE) card in your wallet.
 
Using a simple template that handles the Spanish for you, it will only take you a few minutes to create your personalized Spanish-language In Case of Emergency (ICE) card that tells first-responders and ER doctors who you are, what health issues you have and who to contact on your behalf.
