I refer to this handy little flipbook on a regular basis. It is well-organized
and extremely easy to use. I uploaded the audio CD to my iPod and listen to it
all of the time (while waiting in grocery lines, exercising, etc.). I wish that
they would make another with even more medical terms. Don't hesitate...buy this
now. You won't regret it!

This book is very helpful when talking with patients. Even if you can not speak
well, it is written in Spanish on the opposite page and they can be reading
along with you in case your pronountiation is not accurate.

This book is a wonderful aid for those who are trying to learn medical Spanish,
or need a tool to treat patients who only speak Spanish (when you have no
Spanish experience). All you need to know is Si, No and No Se (yes, no and I do
not know); and with these three phrases you can treat a patient immediately and
effectively. They even have a tape or CD that can accompany the book. What a
well thought out book for anyone who needs medical Spanish to advance their
career or needs to treat patients on a medical missionary trip. Well done Dr.
Dollinger! It is so easy, the first time I picked up the book I was ready to go
in a few minuets.

The book is really good if you don't know spanish and just want to read
something to the patient and get a response that you don't understand. Don't get
me wrong, it really is a decent book, but the emphasis is certainly not on
learning medical spanish and is more on getting your point across to the
patient. How you would interpret their answer will remain a mystery to me...I'll
let you know how it went when I get back from our medical missions trip to
Nicaragua.

This would be excellent for a physician and/ or primary care nurse in an
ambulatory setting

I have been buying this book for myself since it's first publishing, then end up
giving it to someone who needs this more than I do (I speak Spanish). This is a
well planned and layed out book for all medical professionals who come in
contact with Spanish speaking people whether all day long or infrequently.
Rarely is there a translation tool that gets to the point quickly without
leaving the medical professional in the dark. In 1999, I went with a relief team
to Nicaragua in the aftermath of Hurricane Mitch. We managed to treat more than
140 patients in three days with the help of this little book! It is easy to
understand and to use. You can use the pronunciation or just point to the
sentence and you get a straight forward answer. It's that simple! I highly
recommend this book to anyone who has a medical question that needs to be
answered quickly regardless of the profession. We need more books like these for
all professions in the public and private sector. Buy it!

This is a great book for any medical professional who feels the frustration of
trying to help a Spanish-only speaking patient and fells "tied", and helpless.
You don't need to study this book to learn Spanish but rather start using it for
history and physical and by time the language will be automatically embedded in
your head. I love this book.
