Translation doubt: sobreturno
|
|
Hi!
A student wanted to share an anecdote in class and asked me for this particular word. In our country we make an appointment to see the doctor but sometimes when it�s really important you might go there without one. However, you should be prepared to wait for a very long time! This is a "sobreturno".
Thanks in advance and have a great week

The only word I can think of is �waiting list. �
He never made an appointment, so his name �s last on the waiting list, he might have to wait all day. |

You explained the situation, but didn �t tell us what the sobreturno is. Is it the wait, the list or the person? A person who arrives without an appointment is called a "drop-in". Maybe that helps you.

Possibly �emergency appointment � or �emergency consultation �. |
