servicio de tráfico

español al inglés Medicina Medicina (general) RTA
Good afternoon

I am translating an A & E report concerning a woman who was involved in a RTA in Spain. Is there a "Traffic Department" in Spanish hospitals - not really sure about this.

Here is the context at the end of the A & E report:

Tratamiento y Recomendaciones

Control por Servicio de Tráfico
Myolastan 50 mg antes de dormir
Ibuprofeno 600 mg c/8horas despues de comidas por 7 días.

Thank you!

It sounds like the traffic police to me, though I'm not sure why it would be listed under "Tratamiento y recomendaciones."

liz askew (asker) Dec 16, 2011:
Hi, I also meant to say that at the top of the form after "DOB, Age, etc. there is "SEGURO: PENDIENTE TRÁFICO".
Question Could this mean she was referred to the local dept. of transport/motor vehicles because she was deemed unfit to drive, to see about her licence etc?

Traffic Dept

"Tráfico" is the Spanish National Traffic Dept within the Ministry of the Interior
http://www.dgt.es/portal/

They carry out on-the-spot alcohol tests at RTA scenes, so "control" maybe follow-up of these results?
Note from asker:
oh, obviously have a totally different protocol in Spain:)
I did actually put "Traffic Police" as there was also a letter from them to transate
Peer comment(s):

agree Filippe Vasconcellos de Freitas Guimarães : Sounds reasonable. Here in Brazil, for instance, victims of RTCs would always be referred to the local Medical Examiner for forensic testing, photographs etc.

Thanks, Filippe :)
agree Isolde Gornemann : Agree, but not related to the hospital system

Thanks Isolde, no, nothing to do with the hospital, which makes it rather misleading in the given context.
agree James A. Walsh

Thanks, James
agree Muriel Vasconcellos : Yes, they are saying that the patient needs to be monitored to be sure she should be licensed to drive. Here in California, for example, the DMV monitors elderly people closely and has them come in for frequent testing.
