Editorial Reviews

Review

Doody's Book Review Service, 02-JUN-06 -- "For those wanting an affordable Spanish-English English-Spanish medical dictionary, this one has many extras that set it apart from others in the field." ATA Chronicle, 01-FEB-09, Maria de la Paz Garcia Cortes -- "When I started assessing the dictionary by Herrera Mc Elroy and Lola Grabb, I was pleasantly surprised. I have to say that this is a very complete tool not only for translators, but also for anyone who works in the medical field and needs to know medical terms in both English and Spanish...The authors provide a clear explanation of how to use this dictionary. The A to Z organization and the circled letter on the side of the page allow the user to find terms quickly...Apart from the glossaries, the Diccionario Medico Espanol-Ingles-Ingles-Espanol includes several appendices with detailed information on Spanish and English grammar and pronunciation, medical phrases, medical tests, illnesses, medications, and even bioterrorism. In addition, there are separate sections with examples of health care documents and an anatomy atlas. By including information on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the Bill of Rights of the Patient, and examples of different types of consent forms, this dictionary is a great tool to familiarize the user with important aspects of the health care field in the U.S...In conclusion, the Diccionario Medico Espanol-Ingles-Ingles-Espanol is a very good reference tool. With such a wide variety of subjects and excellent organization, it could be used by professional translators, health care professionals, translation and interpreting students, as well as medical students."

5.0 out of 5 stars Review from a first year medical student - This book is wonderful, May 19, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Spanish-English English-Spanish Medical Dictionary: Diccionario Médico Español-Inglés Inglés-Español (Spanish to English/ English to Spanish Medical Dictionary) (Paperback)
The reason this book is so great is because not only does it give you the translation of the words (like most Spanish-English English-Spanish "dictionaries"), it actually gives you the definitions as well. This book also has a lot of extra stuff in the Appendixes like translations for history chief complaint, medical history, review of systems, medications, signs and symptoms, medical tests, anatomy pictures and terms...the list goes on and on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource and reference!, October 19, 2007
By 
This review is from: Spanish-English English-Spanish Medical Dictionary: Diccionario Médico Español-Inglés Inglés-Español (Spanish to English/ English to Spanish Medical Dictionary) (Paperback)
This dictionary has been very useful in the way it is put together. The dictionary part is simple, easy to use and easy to read. The other parts that deal with different types of patient visits was very useful and the indexes proved very informative.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very medically and gynecologically oriented, more for outpatients, November 22, 2007
This review is from: Spanish-English English-Spanish Medical Dictionary: Diccionario Médico Español-Inglés Inglés-Español (Spanish to English/ English to Spanish Medical Dictionary) (Paperback)
Nov 23, 2007: Sample scripts stress medical and gynecological outpatient clinic problems. Not enough to help you with surgical consent forms, descriptions of operations and risks, anesthesia procedures, home care issues, but bettter than a general dictionary.
