Medical Spanish: The Instant Survival Guide

Rating:
Summary: A MUST HAVE!
Review: Anyone who provides any sort of medical service to Spanish-speaking patients absolutely cannot do without this valuable book. In an arena where communication is of such critical importance, any type of language barrier can be disastrous. This book is cleverly designed to provide the essential information for effective communication, and its ring-binding and small size are perfectly designed to be easily carried around the hospital or clinic. Medical Spanish is a brilliant, comprehensive book that is a valuable tool to the medical profession, especially in places like California, where so many different cultures (and thus languages) are present. Moreover, the authors of this book are inspirational, wonderful women. If anyone ever has the opportunity to meet either of them, take it, it will be a treat.

Summary: It's awesome! Comprehensive and thorough.
Review: This book is very helpful for the medical provider to assist him/her in communicating with Spanish-speaking patients in their rooms of the hospital, in a clinical setting or a doctor's office. The bilingual translations help the provider to speak with the monolingual patient and give necesssary instructions or ask important questions to accomodate the patient.
