This review is from: English & Spanish Medical Words & Phases, Third Edition (Paperback)

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!!!
