Important Dominican - Medical Definitions.
Destemplanza:   Mysterious body temperature, not high enough to be considered fever, but serious enough to miss school and work, illness is unknown by the American Medical Association and understood only by doctors of Latin origin.

Patatu:   Attack of obscure origin that can strike at any time. Could be serious enough to require hospitalization, yet is undetected by medical technology.  Victims tend to be males and females over the age of 50 years.

Sirimba:   Attack with similar symptoms as the Patatu's but not as serious and with shorter duration. Can be alleviated by lying on a bed with an ash cloth soaked in alcohol on the forehead.

Aire:   Common malady resulting from going outside without proper attire.  Can occur both winter and summer. Could lead to what is nationally known as a "cold" or "flu", and its origin is not term related.

Sereno:   Occurs when someone steps outdoors suddenly at night and is sprinkled by a mysterious substance. There are no physical symptoms and can only be detected by the Latin elderly.  The effects of having this disease is unknown: Warning! children must not be taken out at night without proper head gear or risk of contamination is certain.

Empacho:   Digestive disorder which occurs after the consumption of a large Latin meal, (i.e. Nochebuena). The only known cure for this disease is "Sal de Fruta ENO", (Alka-Seltzer is completely ineffective).

Mollera:   Soft cranial spot found on new born babies of latin origin. Much more sensitive than that of American. The slightest touch to that area can lead to irreparable brain damage.

Enfriamiento:   Cooling of body temperature and slowed metabolism caused by emotional episodes.

Chichσn:   Elevated cranial protrusion usually caused by the fall usually after a Sirimba or Patatu.

Chochera:   Symptom affecting all hispanic Senior Citizens (in different degrees).  Characteristics include all around crabbiness, irritation, indecent behavior and obscene verbal abuse. Best treatment: direct shove to the nearest Nursing Home.

Muñeca Abierta:   (Open Wrist): Dislocation of the wrist. Unknown cause, other than most documented cases occurs after an unsuccessful attempt to open a jar of "aceitunas".

Cuerpo Cortado:   (Cut Body): Very similar to the "Aire" but with more severe symptoms which require staying at home from work or school. The closest word to describe this sickness when explaining to the boss or teacher is a cold "fever", no cold-like symptoms have yet commenced, can best be described as the "cold" before the "cold".
