English Medical Medical (general) Medical report
This is a fragment from a medical report. Could anyone tell me what it means?

"He has a interesting background insulin such that he had time at son and's in Nicaragua and he they're in
the Embassy in the university. He then talked 8 years in the states in Florida and state corrections."

Context:

History of Present Illness:
XXXXX is a 65 Years Old Male who presents today for physical preventitlve exam.
At this time he will be moving permanently as a resident to Nicaragua where his wife is at this time. He
plans to fully retire there. Therefore he does not want to do a lot of routine preventative issues here and
will plan to get all his immunizations, screening colonoscopy, screening cholesterol, prostate screen in
Nicaragua.

He has a interesting background insulin such that he had time at son and's in Nicaragua and he they're in
the Embassy in the university. He then talked 8 years in the states in Florida and state corrections.
He denies any specific complaints and denies chest pain shortness of breath difficulty sleeping no
significant issues with musculoskeletal.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Yasutomo Kanazawa, Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Álvaro Espantaleón Moreno (asker) Sep 17, 2016:
This is a medical report electronically signed by a US practitioner working for a US clinic. It was faxed to Mr. XXX (I guess) and then scanned into a pdf.

So, it seems its original language is English.
Norskpro Sep 17, 2016:
Language of original report? You have a medical report in "English" with so many errors that it is impossible to translate correctly. It has apparently been translated from another language into "English". What is the language of the original medical report?
Yasutomo Kanazawa Sep 17, 2016:
Talked 8 years in the state of Florida. That's a lot of talking. I bet this person kept on talking for 8 years. He should be in the Guiness of Records for the longest talker in history!
Tariq Khader (X) Sep 17, 2016:
This is Completely unintelligible, and therefore untranslatable!
Rachel Fell Sep 17, 2016:
There are so many errors in the "English" that you can't possibly translate it satisfactorily as a medical report.
Phoenix III Sep 16, 2016:
@ Asker I bet this was originally a transcript done by a computer and now they want it translated. I've returned a few of these jobs.
Norskpro Sep 16, 2016:
What awful English! It makes no sense whatsoever.
Yasutomo Kanazawa Sep 16, 2016:
Google Translate is what I see.

Impossible to understand - it doesn't make any sense

Declined
I suggest you ask the client if he can clarify or where this came from.
