• "Nehmen Sie regelmäßig Medikamente?" (Do you take medication regularly?)
• "Haben Sie Allergien?" (Do you have allergies?)

✅ Clear Patient Communication

Speak slowly and clearly. Use simple sentences. Avoid complex medical jargon when possible. Always confirm patient understanding: "Verstehen Sie?"

✅ German Audio

All pronunciations are German native speaker quality. Listen carefully to the medical terminology pronunciation.

✅ Medical Documentation

Accurate documentation in German is critical. Use proper medical terminology in patient records. Follow DSGVO (German data protection) regulations.
