Medical Terminology book review.......2007-01-23

This book was required for an online college course I was taking. The book is layed out in a nice format and is easy to follow. The CD that comes with the book is quite helpful when preparing for exams and quizzes.

Excellent Book to go through prior to taking CPC course.......2000-07-29

I am an instructor for the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) Professional Medical Coding Curriculum (PMCC) and often recommend this book as a way for a student to be fully prepared to take our course.

I love the CD ROM with the excercises (that's the instructor in me :) as well as the fact that there are pronunciations. This is truly a "self study" course and I highly recommend it.

Excellent addition to an MT course.......1999-08-29

As a provider of Medical Transcriptionist training, I wouldn't suggest people try to replace a comprehensive course with this book. But anyone would profit by adding it to their course materials. It is particularly strong in supporting retention, which is a rare quality in textbooks.

Better than my "correspondence school" tutorial!.......1999-08-05

Wow! I wish I had found this before I blew two weeks salary on a medical transcription course. This book covered more ground than the manuals that I received, and for a fraction of the cost. Without this book I don't think I would ever have picked up the terminology - and I would have missed out on such a great career! (2 years and going strong!)

The best medical terminology book that I've seen!.......1999-07-12

I read this book cover-to-cover during a Medical Transcription certificate program and was really impressed with the format. The order in which the terms are presented and the fill-in-the-blank sections are excellent for testing and retesting yourself. The answers to the tests are in the back of the book so that you can be sure you answered the questions correctly. I have seen other medical terminology books on the market, but none compare to this one for ease of learning!

New Words.......2006-07-24

I used this book while doing a medical mission in Peru. It was very handy and easy to use. Of course it did not have every word I needed but was more than adequate. The PA in Peru liked it so much that I left it with her.

Not for professionals.......2006-04-22

I bought this dictionary to accompany me on a medical elective to colombia. I already spoke spanish reasonably fluently and wanted something to carry arround the wards with me.
The book has a lot to offer but it compromises professional language for lay language and many words useful for case explanation between doctors/students aren't available. For instance "32 y old man that presents with hemianopia and loss of proprioception"(a contrived sentence)" or "she has bi-basal crackles and a displaced apex beat.
Present, proprioception, hemianopia aren't to be found. Nor are "apex beat" or "crackles". Similarly absent are "clubbing" "crepitations", "pulsatile", "cappillary return", "orthopnaea", "neck stiffness", "photophobia" etc etc.
Thus many useful words for examination and history were absent, which didn't help me amongst staff.
There are however about 170 words for marijuana, from basically every latin community in the world. Thus possible expressions you may use to talk to the other doctors about for a laugh over coffee are plentiful!
Many of the various "regionalisms" are solely Mexican or Puerto Rican
It did have plenty of non-medical words though which helped from time to time as a general conversation aid.
All in all it was a bit of a let down and not worth the price.
The diagrams are helpful though also as is the anatomy list.

If you're a doctor or a student I'd try something else.

great resource.......2004-01-03

Spanish is my first language. I took classes in medical terminology in Spanish, however, there are times when I just forget a certain word and I resort to this book for help.
This book has helped me translate many teaching materials we use and give to patients in the hospital. I have used this book for many years and will continue to use it.
Highly recomend it.

Good, but with problems.......2003-07-21

I work as a medical interpreter and use this as my main reference tool. I particularly love the anatomical diagrams, and that the dictionary gives regional usage of words. One very serious problem though - when there is more than one option for a translation, the choices are listed in alphabetical order with no consideration for which choice is the most frequently used. So, I might have to try out a number of words before I hit on the one that the patient understands (I'm also studying for a certification exam and have no way of knowing which of several choices is likely to be on the test). It's common practice in dictionaries to list the most commonly used choice first - this would have been much more helpful. I'm currently shopping for another dictionary that doesn't have this problem.

Good Start.......2002-12-22

The first half of this book is in English, translated to Spanish, under the Alphabet headings. Very good, very concise. The next section is again in English, with medical terminology and the spanish counterpart, diagrams of body systems with Eng-Span conversions, and skeleton. Second half of book is the same as first, only, its Spanish to English. Very helpful book. Good start for someone like me who is just learning the Spanish language.

This is the most useful medical Spanish book ever written........1999-07-08

If you are worried that a Spanish-speaking patient will talk too fast and say too much for you to understand, your worries are over. Medical Spanish by Bongiovanni is designed to elicit yes-no answers or short answers. Other chapters teach simple commands for conducting exams, instructing therapy or providing discharge information. It's a gift from heaven. You will develop confidence as you learn Spanish.

Book Description

Designed for use either as a stand-alone guide or as a built-in part of the series' audio packages, McGraw-Hill: Complete Medical Spanish offers health care professionals an enjoyable way to quickly acquire the skills and confidence they need to communicate with their Spanish-speaking patients. Each chapter focuses on a specific set of key terms and phrases and includes dozens of illustrations to help enhance understanding. Unlike other guides that make no distinction between levels of difficulty, this book introduces essential grammar concepts in a progressive manner.

I have not recieved this product, charged to my credit card about 6 weeks ago, estimated by shipper to arrive Sept 4, it's now Oct 3 and no book. E-mailed Amazon but no answer to the e-mail, just this undoubtedly machine generated message inviting comments. OK there it is. Are we going to deep-six our society in automation?

excellent review.......2007-06-13

I have studied and read this book as well as taken the course taught by the author. I have found this method of learning medical Spanish to be highly effective. I immediately was able to connect and communicate more effectively with my patients that speak Spanish only. I recommend this book to any medical professional that wishes to communicate more clearly with their Spanish speaking patients. All it takes is a little effort!!!

Solid medical dictionary.......2007-05-13

This is a solid medical dictionary that even has sections about folk and herbal remedies and cultural recommendations for folks from various backgrounds in the Spanish-speaking world. I highly recommend it, espcially as a companion to other online, disc-based or live Spanish instruction. The sections are well organized by medical discipline or symptoms and covers terms the medical or helping professional is most likely to run across.

Perfect!.......2007-01-08

This book is exactly what I hoped for!

If you are a fairly intelligent, motivated learner who wants to start with the basics, progress quickly to the conversational level, and get a good grasp of grammar while learning medical words and phrases, this is the book for you.

I am now almost halfway through the book, and I have learned grammar, vocabulary, all the body parts I could ever need, and even slang words!

Another thing I like is that terms used in different parts of the Spanish-speaking world are discussed, so you will know which word to use, depending where you are (or where your patient is from).

Each chapter is broken down into sections. Each section starts with some vocabulary (and an accompanying picture). Then there might be a grammatical discussion or a discussion of how to talk about taking pills. Then there are some exercises (this is the only thing I think there could be more of, but you can always make up your own sentences for practice).

What this book is not: It is not a list of medical phrases that you have to memorize. That has been my experience with every other medical Spanish book... if that is what you are looking for, you are better off with a CD. However, I doubt you will really become conversational after memorizing a bunch of phrases.

It also is not great about helping you with pronounciation. However, you probably know 100 other people who speak Spanish, so just ask one of them to go through your vocabulary with you!

Bottom line: a perfect book for nurses, NP's, PA's, MD's who want to communicate better with their patients.

Disappointing.......2006-08-27

Thought this book included the CDs. . .it appears you can't get the complete set anywhere, even from the publisher. Sorry, but reading pronunciations in a book just doesn't cut it.

Product Description

Since 1992, users of Pocket Medical Spanish have discovered just how easy communicating with Spanish-speakers can be. With over 80,000 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 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).

Pocket Medical Spanish.......2007-06-05

This 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 on a medical missionary trip. Well done Dr. Dollinger! It is so easy, the first time I picked up the book I was ready to go in a few minuets.

ehh?.......2006-03-05

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.

great resource book.......2005-08-12

Easy to look up information. Great travel companion and pocket size.

Fantastic! Need more like this for all Public Safety Pros!.......2004-01-15

I have been buying this book for myself since it's first publishing, then end up giving it to someone who needs this more than I do (I speak Spanish). This is a well planned and layed out book for all medical professionals who come in contact with Spanish speaking people whether all day long or infrequently. Rarely is there a translation tool that gets to the point quickly without leaving the medical professional in the dark. In 1999, I went with a relief team to Nicaragua in the aftermath of Hurricane Mitch. We managed to treat more than 140 patients in three days with the help of this little book! It is easy to understand and to use. You can use the pronunciation or just point to the sentence and you get a straight forward answer. It's that simple! I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a medical question that needs to be answered quickly regardless of the profession. We need more books like these for all professions in the public and private sector. Buy it!

Updated with a new verb list, more vocabulary, more key phrases, and expanded exercise sections, this book offers English-speaking doctors, nurses, and medical assistants some basic Spanish vocabulary to help them deal with Hispanic patients who speak little or no English. The book starts with pronunciation tips and offers advice on listening comprehension with special focus on words and phrases that are likely to be used in a medical setting. True-to-life dialogues recreate situations involving pregnancy, broken bones, pediatric care, heart and lung diseases, geriatric care, communicable diseases, drug problems, medical treatment of crime victims, and more.

Worth every penny!.......2006-04-06

My wife bought this book for me, and it was a Godsend. Chapter lessons are bite sized and arranged in logical/relational order; interpersonal phrases, cultural issues, admission, discharge, fundamental anatomy, hygiene issues, medication issue, etc.

In addition to these categories the book immediately teaches word pronunciation and basic sentence construction...in English sentence format. Perhaps this may sound backwards to a Spanish-speaking listener/patient; however, my message was immediately understood and acknowledged.

Bottom line, this book is an excellent jump off point for someone (like me) serving a high volume of Spanish-only speaking patients.

A great Book!.......2006-03-05

I'm other language challenged but this book makes picking up and using Spanish in my role as an RN easy and effective.

Wonderful for beginners.......2006-03-01

This book has become invaluable in my ER setting. We have a small Hispanic population which is growing with more Spanish speaking patients. This book helps with basic Admission questions and follows up with easily understood medical questions. Would recommend highly.

The book is a good tool for getting a non spanish speaker up and running with the language.

This book is extremely practical for my interactions with spanish-speaking patients. I work at a hospital and we see a large number of Hispanic/Mexican-American individuals. This book has been IMMEDIATELY applicable and helps me to be more effective. Patients appreciate my obvious effort even though my pronunciation and grammer isn't perfect! Thank you to William Harvey for writing a book applicable to ALL types of healthcare professionals, including social workers.

No Bueno.......2006-11-04

What an overpriced disappointment. This is a single-CD combined with a small and nearly useless book of spanish grammar. Not at all what I expected nor wanted.

Great book, but basic Spanish skills necessary!.......2006-04-18

I thought that this book was very helpful in allowing me to speak with patients in Spanish, teaching me much of the health profession vocabulary that is neglected in most normal Spanish courses. However, it is NOT for someone just beginning to learn the Spanish language. It does not go into detail on basic information or words in Spanish, but offers a practical review of basic Spanish grammar and conjugations. That being said, I had 3 semsters of Spanish in college (almost 8 years ago), and felt that it gave me enough review, as well as greatly added to my Spanish vocabulary.

Not for Beginner.......2005-11-08

The text is good for intermediate Spanish speaker. The book does not give you basic list of numbers, days, months or years in Spanish. The DVD is too advanced for me. The DVD is nothing more than conversational situations--no English translation. It is not a teaching guide or instructional media. The product is not what I expected.

Medical Spanish Text: A Conversational Approach.......2005-10-17

This is a nice book to have if you have had some Spanish and need a refresher and need to learn new vocabulary. It is not organized to be a begginer Spanish book.

Excellent textbook for courses in medical Spanish.......2000-08-23

This is the best textbook that I have found for a course in Spanish for the Medical Professions. It's also an excellent book for anyone in the medical professions who already knows the basics of Spanish and wants to learn the kind of Spanish necessary to interact with his or her patients.
