Summary: Exceptionally useful
Review: I have to admit, at first glance I was pretty disappointed in this book. Typical of other reference books by Russky Yazyk Publishers, it has a cover that looks like it's from the 30's, incredibly small print, and the text includes absolutely nothing other than the bare bones. Once I started using the book, however, I discovered that those bare bones were exceptionally good ones. While this book may not appear attractive, it does exactly what it promises -- provides Russian-English and English-Russian of an incredibly wide array of medical terms and questions and statements commonly made by both generalists and specialists during a patient exam. Another plus is that book is arranged by topic, rather than alphabetically -- for example, there's one section that includes all the questions one might ask a pregnant woman. Definitely worth the investment!

Summary: Medical Russian
Review: I really like this book. It is very helpful. It has assessment and interview questions, question responses and diagnosis statements. The only thing missing is accent marks to ensure correct pronunciation.

Summary: good buy for Russophile doctors
Review: The hospital where I'm an ER doctor has not only elderly Russian patients brought in by family but also visiting Russian doctors. This book is organized by sections (general exam and history, urology, cardiology etc.) so you can either scan it fast before seeing a patient with pelvic pain or memorize the technical terms before chatting with a visiting surgeon. Biggest flaw is the lack of a separate dictionary section, but overall it's a huge help.
