Product Description
Expanded in this edition with more words, phrases, and helpful exercises, this program also features two brand-new sections. One of them is directed at health care receptionists, and the other deals with health insurance forms. This bookis designed to help doctors, nurses, and medical assistants communicate in Spanish with Latino patients and their families who have little or no command of English. Every Spanish word in the book is followed by its phonetic pronunciation. The book also provides easy-to-follow tips on understanding colloquial spoken Spanish. Author William Harvey concentrates on words and phrases likely to be used in a medical setting. True-to-life dialogues dramatize situations pertaining to pregnancy, broken bones, pediatric care, heart and lung diseases, pharmacy prescriptions, drug problems, medical treatment of accident and crime victims, and much more.

 Better for doctors and nurses June 18, 2008
I am a pediatric occupational therapist and I felt this book was too geared towards medical based terminolgy and diagnostics rather than what I was looking for. Despite, it is well laid out and did provide some nice phrases to use. It definitely won't make you fluent and knowing a bit about Spanish before picking it up definitely helps.

This book has been very helpful in learning Spanish to communicate with my patients. It includes easy to repeat pronunciation guides. Now if we could just get the patients to use the responses they are supposed to, it would be perfect (mostly kidding).
Spanish for Healthcare Professionals October 13, 2007
An incredible and valuable resource for those in the healthcare field who are either bilingual or not and need to address vital information with their Spanish patients. Although this book is smaller-sized than most, it packs a lot of translantion and information. Better than most that we have used in my care facility.

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! March 5, 2006

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