With over 85,000 copies in print, Pocket Medical Spanish has helped medical personnel throughout the country diagnose and treat hundreds of thousands of Spanish-speaking patients quickly and easily. These spiral bound, flip chart-like books include over 400 medical phrases divided into 12 useful sections including: Introduction, General Questions, Pain, Chest Problems, Abdominal Problems, Nervous System Disorders, Ob/Gyn, Male Reproductive Problems, Urinary Problems, Skin Problems, Final, and Glossary. On the professional's side of each card are the English phrase, the Spanish phrase, and an easy-to-pronounce pronunciation guide. On the patient's side the Spanish phrase in large letters so the patient can read along. All of the phrases are either commands or yes/no type phrases, so all you need to know is how to say three simple phrases in Spanish, "sí" (yes), "no" (no), and "no sé" (I don't know). Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great helpThis book is very helpful when talking with patients. Even if you can not speak well, it is written in Spanish on the opposite page and they can be reading along with you in case your pronountiation is not accurate. Rating: - Pocket Medical SpanishThis book is a wonderful aid for those who are trying to learn medical Spanish, or need a tool to treat patients who only speak Spanish (when you have no Spanish experience). All you need to know is Si, No and No Se (yes, no and I do not know); and with these three phrases you can treat a patient immediately and effectively. They even have a tape or CD that can accompany the book. What a well thought out book for anyone who needs medical Spanish to advance their career or needs to treat patients ... Read More Rating:  - ehh?The book is really good if you don't know spanish and just want to read something to the patient and get a response that you don't understand. Don't get me wrong, it really is a decent book, but the emphasis is certainly not on learning medical spanish and is more on getting your point across to the patient. How you would interpret their answer will remain a mystery to me...I'll let you know how it went when I get back from our medical missions trip to Nicaragua. Rating: - Pocket Medical Phrase TranslatorThis would be excellent for a physician and/ or primary care nurse in an ambulatory setting Rating: - great resource bookEasy to look up information. Great travel companion and pocket size.
