  1. Dr TR-1

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

  2. Int TR-2

  3. PF TR-3

    Jey, doctor. Jo' qeya, ¿ti' ta' Antonio?

  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

    Ajtza, lu tan ja'la, tej te t-operacion lu b'a' ma tz'e'la, aj mayxsa txi ti' tiem ex eysa il tu'. K'ela q-k'asanay ch'i' ne' ch'i' ne' toj ja UCI tu' tok qaj cheyb'aj ti'j ex tu' tkub' melet qa mi n-ti' jun ta' tol il toksa ti'j.

  7. PF TR-7

    ¿Ex j-tojtza k'okal q-cheyana, doctor?

  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

    Ja'la toj 15 minuto chi okalxay cheyta, teq'a n-wetaq'a. Ilti'j k-chjal ch-q'o'nay ja chey ch-dato ex qaj tajlal chey ch-yolb'il. Chi'jtza teja la 1:00 te qala b'a' chajtza meltz'ana q'olb'elta ex kxe'lxaxsa qqb'a'nay ti' xinina qaj tne'l amb'il qaj chi xe'l tzyet.

  11. PF TR-11

  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

    Mi jaw b'aj tey t-k'u'j, chi i'yalay cheyta teja junt amb'il. Lu qo'ya q-xi' k'ojlalta ex cheylaktza jakax tu' qb'intanay qa luta b'a' ta'.

  15. PF TR-15

    ¿Niych'intza tiem, k'okaltz ten toj ja 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

    La ti' xinina q'ija q'ij, k'okal q-cheya la ti' k'elatz toj ja cirugía ex qaj chi chwixal qa ch'inch'a uj t-jaw jlet toja tten ja operación lu. Ja tey tarmano jux maj ti'ta kwel x-k'eyat te, k'okal q'o'nay chqil qaj aq'masab' tu' tul naj t-nab'.

  19. PF TR-19

    ¿Jeytza chi aq'anan chqil jte toj t-k'u'j mo at jun ta' toj il?

  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

    Tej amb'il lu, taj ch'in remeda te tej te tanma ex ja tensión arterial. Lu teja b'a'na teja tten ja nokx ex ch'inch'ak'a b'a' tajtz ti'j ja remeda lu teja kab't amb'il.

  24. Int TR-24

    Ok, thank you. We’ll wait here until we can come in.
