"Se recibe usuario en su unidad, consciente, orientado, respirando aire ambiente".
It looks to me like this word is being used to mean "patient," but I can't find any confirming (or denying, for that matter) examples anywhere. Can somebody please confirm this usage for me? Everything I'm finding keeps pointing back to "user" but that just doesn't seem to fit this context.
So far, I'm translating it as "User is found in his unit..." (recibirse being another odd usage, but I'm dealing with it), but it's really sticking in my craw.
Thanks!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
