Thank you too Aradai!
Aradai Pardo Martínez Feb 20, 2010:
Además, Liz, creo que sería bueno cambiar la clasificación de la pregunta a conversation, letters o slang, porque no es de medicina.
Saludos!
Aradai Pardo Martínez Feb 20, 2010:
¡Se usa mucho! Por ejemplo, "ellos no se bañan todos los días como uno" y quiere decir "como yo" o, en este caso "como nosotros"
Monica Colangelo Feb 20, 2010:
Creepy! It sounds pretty much like "like yours truly" but I very much doubt a physician would use that language. I would ask your client for clarification
José Patrício Feb 20, 2010:
for example?
Aradai Pardo Martínez Feb 20, 2010:
Necesitaría más contexto previo para afirmarlo, pero creo que lo que quiere decir es "como yo" (médico de primer contacto como yo) pero de una forma modesta y ambigua

...who approaches more a doctor as a first contact as someone to prescribe...

Just my opinion.
