Food H&P:

4-5 chicken breasts (I use frozen)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup of salsa
1 pack of dry ranch
1 pack of taco seasoning
½ cup of sour cream

Food Rx:

Mix the cream of chicken soup and salsa together. Place everything in a crockpot except the sour cream. Cook on high for 4 hours. Remove chicken and shred with 2 forks. Return chicken to the sauce in the crockpot and stir in ½ cup of sour cream.

The meat is ready! I usually place a couple of spoonfuls of the chicken taco meat in a soft tortilla and sprinkle with cheddar cheese and sliced green onions. Then roll the tortilla and grill on the stove. I also enjoy the meat in taco salads. This is a great recipe to double and freeze the leftovers.

With English being the only language I’m fluent in I always get a little nervous when my Spanish speaking patients arrive. The extent of my 9th grade Spanish class that I retained was My name is… and dolor (for pain), past that it is a lot of charades! For a true emergency the treatment is very reliant on the physical exam. We can utilize interrupters and language phone calls; however, this can become time consuming and pertinent information can become lost in translation. Truth be told due to the language barrier additional testing might be utilized to truly rule out an emergency in patients that do not speak English.
