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.

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.

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.

I have 2 other dictionaries but ths one is far and away the best one I have used and I use it a lot as an interpreter.

Hola,
Este mensaje es para aquellos que trabajan en la rama de la medicina como tambien para padres de familia que desean continuar su educacion. Trabajando como interprete en la rama medica encuentro ese diccionario muy util. Muchas veces me a salvado en emergencia. Lo considero un libro que te ayuda a refrescar la memoria con terminologia ademas de ayudarte facilmente a manipular con la ayuda de dibujos e incluye un cd que tiene mucha informacion que puedes cargar en el celular y directo en la cartera muy facilmente. Es uno de mis libros favoritos y se lo recomiendo a muchos.

This is a very helpful dictionary especially for the professional who depends on accuracy in translating or interpreting from one language to
another.

We used this book on a medical trip to Guatemala, and it was great. Easy to access what we needed and very complete. It is a trifle pricey, but we bought another copy to leave with the group in Guatemala.

Medical interpreters should always have a dictionary handy when they show up at a job. This one's great, it fits in a briefcase. It's also a good reference book for clinics (rather than hospitals).
It doesn't have enough items involving surgery but it's great for interpreting at appointments. I've used this edition as well as the previous one for years

Great to work with, book came quickly and in the condition I was expecting. Thank you.

This book is extremely helpful. Has all of the basic terms that I need in a clinical setting.
