Swedish term

man

Swedish to English Medical Medical (general)
I'm stuck with this whole phrase:
"Således man som kunde snacka...." as I can't work out whether "man" refers to "a male" or the third person pronoun ("one"). The context is medical notes; the phrase appears under the heading "Bedömning/Åtgärd":

"Således man som kunde snacka.....Inkom efter smärta i vänster hemthorax akut igår kl. 12.00."

Thanks again for any help/suggestions!

correct :o)

Thanks very much, Lisa. So, would the whole sentence be something like "Thus, male who was able to talk"? I have to add that my translation is NOT to be used by medical professionals - otherwise I would never have agreed to do it :-)

man

Under 'bedömning/åtgärd' it would be, because the doctor always starts with male/female, age, etc to summarise. I know this from working as a medical secretary.
