The wipeable page surface allows users to write notes and remove them easily. | ||

Great for volunteer medical teams This flip style book printed on plastic coated paper is perfect for medical personnel to take along when traveling to other countries. The color anatomical and other drawings help patients identify their symptoms, and help med teams communicate with both patients and translators. | ||
Good despite some typos Very quick and easy to use. Good format. However there are a few errors. If you are already good at Spanish you can fix them yourself. Page 26 has multiple errors regarding words for positioning. Page 75 spelling error "pnerle" should be ponerle. If you are in need of a quick medical translation, this is still worth it despite the errors. | ||
Fast, easy reference in hand. As a nurse I've found this pocket reference to be a speedy way to find common phrases in a hurry... faster than using the Eng-Spa dictionary in my PDA. I would also recommend it for use if you travel to Spanish speaking countries. It is very useful when you are the patient and there is a language deficit. | ||
