Spanish term
El paciente pasó buena tarde
Spanish to English
Medical
Medical (general)
Hi all,
I am translating some medical reports and I am struggling with how to phrase "pasar una buena tarde/noche/mañana" etc. I know it is a bit of a silly question but this expression is used multiple times throughout the text and I'm not sure the translations I'm coming up with sound right in English, especially in the context of medical texts.
There are several pages containing "observaciones de enfermería" where the nurses write down notes about the patient's progress. Most nurses write "el paciente pasó buena mañana", or just "buena tarde", "buena noche", etc.
The patient had a good afternoon?
The patient's condition was good throughout the afternoon?
They all seem very lengthy for something that in the original text in Spanish was simply "buena mañana" or "buena tarde". But if I just say "Good afternoon" or "good night" it'd sound as if I'm greeting them wouldn't it?
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
