lay vs. lie Joseph is correct...my mistake!
Joseph Tein Sep 26, 2007:
For our colleagues who are not native English speakers: note that 'lay' is incorrect English usage here. The correct verb is 'lie'. Increasingly, many native English speakers mistake these two words. Lay = poner / situar.

agree María Diehn : También pondría en la traducción su explicación. Hay quien permanece acostado... boca abajo o de lado.

Sí, por eso la opción "de espaldas" que creo que es la que más me gusta. Al fin y al cabo, es posterior a un cateterismo cardíaco...¡Gracias!
