McGraw-Hill's Complete Medical Spanish This book has been an amazing resource for me. I already had a very good knowledge of conversational Spanish, but this book reviewed that, as well. I believe that this book was particularly helpful because I already had some knowledge of Spanish; however, in my opinion this book would have been indispensible to me regardless. Its coverage of Medical Spanish is very thorough and helpful. Not only does it give tons of vocabulary, but it also gives helpful patient/healthcare provider dialogue in many different scenarios from asking about symptoms and taking vitals to actual exams in many different specialties. I used this book as my only resource to study for a medial Spanish test, and I feel that I am very prepared. I will also be holding on to this book for future reference. It is THAT helpful! I am so glad that I chose this particular book. Enjoy! | ||
DOES NOT COME WITH THE AUDIO PORTION This is a great, well-organized overview of medical Spanish. However, you will not be able to buy the 3-CD set that it's supposed to come with. McGraw-Hill no longer makes the CD set, as per a representative from their company. I wish I would've known that before buying the book! | ||
McGraw-Hill's Complete Medical Spanish Although this book is not bad, it only gives you the basic information needed to get through a physical exam of a patient, and does not come with pronunciation of the words. I would recommend buying the 'Spanish for Family Practitioners' set that includes this book and a set of 3 CD's. The CD's provide dialogs and pronunciation. | ||
Good value This book and the accompanying CDs are the best resource I have found in the way of "how-to" books for learning medical Spanish. The choice of translations is very accurate and the Spanish is generalized in that it will be understood by Hispanics from any country. The writing is personable and engaging, and there is a wealth of information on Latin culture. As an internist who has worked with Spanish-speaking patients for the last 20-odd years, I can say that the subject matter is very relevant and the questions are carefully phrased to ensure accurate responses. Very well done! I recommend it highly. Glenn Rogers, M.D. | ||
Indeed, a better one. I like this book because it'll really give you an idea how spanish language is constructed plus the exercises after each topic which appears to be too elementary but very helpful, indeed. Good price for a sensible book. If you're a beginner in the heathcare world, this is it! Eureka! | ||
