  1. Dr TR-1

    Good afternoon. Are you Mr. Pérez’s family?

  4. Int TR-4

    Hello, Doctor. Yes, we’re Antonio’s family. How is he doing?

  5. Dr TR-5

    Well, he’s asleep right now. The operation went well, but it was very long and aggressive and we’ll wake him up slowly in the ICU to do tests and make sure there aren’t any complications.

  6. Int TR-6

    Wakamin ni wär, ri ru sokitajik richin naq'omäx utz xel, wi keri' yalan xyoke' chuqa yalan ruk'ayewal xril. Nqa k'asoj chi b'a' chi b'a' pa ri UCI richin ni b'an ru nik'oxïk chuqa netamäx chi majun ru k'ayesal xtril apo.

  8. Int TR-8

    And when can we see him, Doctor?

  9. Dr TR-9

    Come inside in 15 minutes. He’ll be asleep and you’ll have to give us your contact information and phone numbers. Tomorrow at 1pm you can see him again and we’ll explain how he’s been progressing during the first few hours post operation.

  10. Int TR-10

  12. Int TR-12

    No one explained that to me, I want to see my brother now.

  13. Dr TR-13

    Don’t worry, you can come in to see him later. We’re taking care of him and putting monitors on to make sure everything is OK.

  14. Int TR-14

    No chike na na' chire, xkixik'o chu tz'etïk pa jun ramaj, Oj k'o chu chajixïk chuqa nqa ya' ru ru nik'onel richin nqa jikib'a' chi rojojel yalan utz xtel.

  15. PF TR-15

    ¿Janpe ruq'ijul ramaj xti k'oje' pa ri UCI?

  16. Int TR-16

    How long will he be in the ICU?

  17. Dr TR-17

    Everything depends on how he progresses, how he responds to surgery and the complications that can arise with this type of operation. Your brother is in good hands, and we’ll do everything we can to ensure his speedy recovery.

  18. Int TR-18

    Ronojel rejqalen achike ri ru k'waxik ru yab'il xtu b'än, wi xtu k'äm ru ch'akul ri sokotajïk xb'an chire chuqa keri ri q'ayewal rejalen ruma ri ru b'anikil re sokotajïk aq'om xb'an chire.

  20. Int TR-20

    Are all of his organs working or are there any problems?

  21. Dr TR-21

    Right now, he needs a small amount of medication for his heart and blood pressure. This is normal in this type of procedure, and we can most likely reduce the amount in the next few hours.

  22. Int TR-22

    Pa re ramaj re', nrajo' jub'a' taq raq'on richin ri ranma chuqa ri ru samaj ri rib'och'il. Re' kan kewiri' ruk'amompe ruma ri rejqalen ri aq'omanem xb'an chire, rik'in jub'a' ni qa ruwäch ri aq'om pa jun ka'I' ramaj peteneq apo.
