Somewhere on the internet, I caught a glimpse of this PDA-sized translator. It says it can order Sushi in 12 languages. Yeah, that could be useful in my line of work. These would work better:
Point to where it hurts.
Let's compare your left one to your right one and see if there's any difference.
How long has it looked like that? (and why did you wait so long to do something about it?)
Are you in pain?
Can you rank your pain from 1 (almost no pain) to 10 (the worst pain you have ever had).
Just tell us what has worked for your pain in the past.
Your physician will not give you anymore.
There is no need to get ugly with me.
Please, sir, put that down.
I am small but I can run fast.
I can have this device translate directions to a nearby hospital that specializes in cases just like yours.
That diaper needs to stay on.
Don't pull that tube. Believe me, just don't do it.
I am the Big Boss of this place. I am the Biggest Boss to talk to you tonight. And the answer is still no.
It's obvious your doctor doesn't think your pain is all that bad... you can fill him in when he gets here in the morning. Yes, yes, he likes to hear your personal opinions.
I am sure there are other possibilities.
Why did you do that!? What made you think that was a good idea?
See this bag? It's full of urine. Because there's a tube in your bladder. It does it automatically. I know. It's nice, huh? So, no, you really don't have to go into the bathroom to urinate. Nope. Because of the tube...
A translation device that can explain a Foley to a demented/delirious person? Now that would be priceless!
