¿Cómo se llama estas personas en español? 'Acompañantes medicos' o hay un otro término?
Pues no sé. "Acompañantes médicos" no me suena . Existe "atención médica", podría ser. Pero cuando vas en una ambulancia, nunca vas solo, vas con un médico y creo que con una enfermera también, es obligatorio. Creo que no existe traducción, ya se da por hecho. Pero no lo sé seguro

Tal vez no hay un término específico por estas cosas en español.

¡Muchas gracias por contestar a mi pregunta de todos modos irma!

To clarify a couple of previous posts on this subject, guardaespaldas is "Bodyguard" in english

In english a bodyguard is someone that is supposed to protect you. Someone that, for me, should protect you with their life.

An escort is a more broad term. An escort could be a bodyguard but could also be just escorting the person and not necessarily in charge of protecting them.

The final meaning that I can think of for escort would be a female prostitute but in this sense escort is a more respectful term for prostitute. A person on the streets would pay for a prostitute while a rich business man would buy an escort.

Puedo explicar esto en espanol tambien si quieren.

The president of the company never goes out without his bodyguard because a lot of people hate him.
¿Quién quiere ser mi escolta cuando yo llegue a ser famoso?

Nunca me gusta ser escolta porque es un trabajo pelígroso
