If you don't know what the title means, you can use the pictogram designed by two young nurses at the La Línea Hospital.  Amanda Muñiz, 23, and Óscar Carretero, 29, work in the Emergency unit at the hospital, where crucial questions are asked as a patient is brought in to triage.

La Línea doctor denounced for negligence

(Agencies) Seven doctors of the Servicio Andaluz de Salud (SAS), one from La Línea, have been reported for alleged negligence in the case of a woman who died of a cerebral hemorrage. The patient died after being diagnosed with stress five times in three days. According to her family's lawyer, Félix Muñoz Pedrosa, the woman first went to the La Línea Hospital on October 22 last year. She had been in the town to attend her father's funeral and told the staff at th hospital that she was feeling acute pain in the chest and back.
The doctors there told her she had been under a "stressful family situation" and sent her home to Sevilla, where her husband took her to the Virgen del Rocío Hospital because her "joints were absolutely rigid." She was given several tests there and was admitted on the 25th, "that is, four days after she was first  taken ill," according to the attorney.>
