Mateo "Salpingopharyngeus" (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    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. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource and reference!, October 19, 2007 By  Bernardino Zarrazola (Bernalillo, NM USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This dictionary has been very useful in the way it is put together.
