5.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough yet nice and small; a breeze to use!, April 25, 1998
I'm a translator in a medical clinic serving a mostly Salvadoran clientele. Though some specific usages vary somewhat from words our patients use, I have not yet stumped this little dictionary. Every word I've needed to know how to say in Spanish, I've found very easily.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very handy bilingual resource, May 10, 2003
This bilingual medical dictionary is a perfect pocket size reference for daily terminology for those working in the medical profession, students or simply for those who want to be able use medical terminology in both English and Spanish. The dictionary does not provide definitions of the medical terms or words so if your looking for a bilingual reference with definitions you should consult another source. The terms are arranged alphabetically and the equivalent word or phrase is provided from English to Spanish or from Spanish to English. For example: health food = comida saludable, to gain weight = aumentar de peso, vaccine= vacuna. The terminology is not at all complicated and is quite accurate. There are some practice dialogues patient- doctor questions and typical scenarios. The resource is perfect if you use it in the correct capacity, which is to quickly look up medical terminology and the equivalent meaning in English or Spanish. This dictionary is not an exhaustive resource; it would have been better if it were a little bigger.

1.0 out of 5 stars too simplified and just for conversations with a patient, November 15, 1999
If you are looking for a 'real' medical dictionary english-spanish, go somewhere else. This is a meagre pocket dictionary for superficial medical conversations with a spanish speaking patient. Don't look for any sofisticated terms or medical descriptions: there aren't any. So don't let the title mislead you: this book is a pocket guide to spanish/english gibberish, not to medical terms and medical science.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent resource
This book is exactly what I needed. When I am interpreting I bring this with me as a resource. It is small enough to carry. My large dictionary I keep at home.
