This is 1-minute (or so) podcast on Survival Phrases when you need to buy some medicine in a pharmacy. We all may have headaches or stomachaches on a trip. Even though you might already know how to do shopping in Russian or ask for directions but if you are not well, it’s a relief when you know what to say to the pharmacist in the nearest pharmacy. (Believe me, it’s on every corner!)  
A piece of advice! Check on the internet Russian analogs of medicine that you are used to buy in your home country.

A otra cosa mariposa

Todos tenemos talentos especiales esperando a que los apliquemos a una empresa digna. Todos tenemos algún tipo de genio personal. Todos estamos aquí con un propósito único, algún objetivo noble que nos permitirá manifestar nuestro máximo potencial humano, mientras añadimos valor a la vida de quienes nos rodean. Descubrir esa vocación no quiere decir que debas abandonar el trabajo en el que te ocupas. Sólo significa que tendrás que aportar a ese trabajo más esfuerzo y centrarte en las cosas que sabes hacer mejor. Hoy mismo decide ser brillante en lo que haces, y en cómo vives.

They discuss:

The biggest English communication mistakes healthcare professionals make (and it’s not grammar)

Why miscommunication can create emotional stress for both patients and providers

How empathy, trust, and active listening can improve patient care

The powerful results her clients see through one-on-one coaching
