A couple useful ones (I'm conversational, borderline fluent per my native Spanish-speaking wife):
Por cuanto tiempo ha tenido __________? - For how long have you had _______?
Ensename (en-SEN-ya-me) - Show me - has a tilde on the second n, FWIW
Cuando fue la ultima vez que ________? - When was the last time that ________?
For the above, you can finish with: comio (you ate), hizo pupu (pooped), hizo pipi (peed), durmio (slept), tomo su medicina (took your medicine), tomo sus pastillas (took your pills)

Some Mandarin/Cantonese phrases would be a lot more helpful where I am.

Apunta donde le duele. -- Point to where it hurts.
this is a useful site that i go to when i have a patient who speaks a language (spanish or otherwise) that I can't. i just type in a few questions I'd want to know answers to based on the chief complaint, then it gives me the translation, and i write it on the triage sheet so i can say it to the patient. its also very helpful when writing discharge instructions. i'm fluent in spanish, and i've messed around with it, and its really accurate and correct. its my assumption that the stuff i'm putting in for some other languages is equally correct.

Habla despacio, por favor. (speak slowly please)
There are some good med spanish books out there. and when in a pinch, you can always try the altavista babel fish. its not perfect but its pretty good.

Most of you have made pretty bad grammatical errors in your suggested phrases.
BTW, "¿Cuando fue la última vez que hizo pupú?" sounds as silly to Spanish-speakers as "When's the last time you made a doodoo?". You can all use "¿Cuando fue la última vez que defecó?", unless it's to a very young child, and will be understood.

Interesting, 'cause I've heard native Spanish speakers use the mentioned phrase many times. And not just to kids.
And I've used the suggested phrase with adult native Spanish speakers who didn't understand what I was asking.
It's all in who you're talking to and their education level. Which means having multiple ways to ask or explain something is a nice thing.
Doesn't sound silly to me, and I'm a native speaker. Defecó might or might not be understood depending on the patient population. Well educated patients might understand. Others might not.
I'll try both tomorrow on shift and see the response I get. (I'm on my International EM rotation now)

Una mas Cerveza... por favor.
This is a great post....FOR ME TO PUPU ON!!!!!
One of my (probably unreasonable) pet peeves is "dolor hunting" whereby the clinician presses on the patient (usually their abdomen) and says "dolor? dolor? dolor? dolor?"
I think it's more respectful to say "aqui le duele?." Which means "does it hurt you here?" rather than just "pain? pain? pain? pain?"

only just now clicked that your avatar is asklepios. I guess I never got around to learning my greek as well as I should have. And to think I studied under a numismatist... Though in my defense I had caught the thermopylae reference when I first saw one of your posts.

Un señor se sube a un autobús. Cuando se dispone a sentarse, no hay puesto y se para delante de una señora que carga un paquete. La señora le dice:
-¡Cuidao con los huevos!
El viajante le dice:
-Perdone, ¿es que lleva huevos?
Responde la mujer: ¡No señor, llevo alfileres!

Was Carlos Santana your spanish teacher?

This is true but when you dont know the language - it gets it through to the patient. You can very easily make a one word question in a foreign language simply by adding an inquisitive tone.
It's all greek to me... No hablo. The avatar is a scan of one of a few ancient roman & greek coins I own with medical symbology.
Was the numismatist heavy? 😛
As for Thermopylae...
Ω ξείν', αγγέλλειν Λακεδαιμονίοις ότι τήδε
κείμεθα, τοις κείνων ρήμασι πειθόμενοι.
Go tell the Spartans, thou that passest by,
That here, obedient to their laws, we lie.

Si vous pouvez parler en français, je suis ici!
I find this thread COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY (did I spell that right?) OFFENSIVE. How dare you elitist make fun of spanish speakers. Who is the OP Lou Dobbs? It deeply offends me as a lover of 7-layer burritos, Jennifer Lopez, and that mexican dude from dancing with the stars 😡
very funny. Yeah, everybody belittle me. See if I care.
I did have a teacher in the 7th grade that bore a striking resemblance to Santana.
I wonder what she is doing now?

I'm not exactly sure what you said, but to me it looks like "if you poop in a french parlor, you are icky!"
