I'm a recently retired Spanish teacher and have been asked to volunteer at our
local hospital. I was afraid that I wouldn't know all the medical terminology
necessary. This is an easy to-use-guide full of necessary information, but a
knowledge of Spanish would be helpful to use it. There are some small errors,
but nothing that would seriously affect communication. BE CAREFUL! If you use
these phrases, the Spanish-speaker will answer in sentences. What do you do
then? Ask "yes" and "no" questions!!!

I find this book really helpful for reviewing conversational idioms and Spanish
medical vocabulary, but this book could be risky for beginning-level Spanish
speakers. There are so many typos--wrong gender and especially missing accent
marks! (ex. cardiaco, nausea--without the accent marks you will be pronouncing
these wrong!)--if you don't already have a pretty good grip on Spanish, you
could embarrass yourself, or worse, fail to make yourself understood.

I bought this book because it is an interesting tool both
for translators and interpreters.
But oops! what my surprise was when I read the Spanish translation.
There are lots of Grammatical mistakes, such as accents,
change in the gender of the nouns and articles, etc.
Lots of typos, widows, etc.
I called the translator, PhD Glafyra Ennis who confirmed
that there are many mistakes.
It is obvious that there were no Proofreaders and Second Set
of Eyes before sending it to Print!!
So, those who are not Spanish native speakers, be careful
when you want to use the Spanish.
Good luck.
