I bought this book a few years ago and really like it a lot. I think the low rating it received is a little unfair since the people rating it went low just because they didn't know it is a book for people who speak pretty fluent Spanish.
It's laid out nicely based mostly on specialties and areas of the hospital. It has an excellent and wide terminology section in the back. It also presents the terminology and vocabulary in a practical, easy to remember manner by using realistic dialog ... Read More

I speak Spanish, and my nurse is taking a course in medical Spanish using this book. She does not speak Spanish, and I have been helping her get through this book. She is having a tough time, as the book assumes at least a familiarity with Spanish. I ended up giving her my daughter's children's books in Spanish, which seems to be more helpful.
This is also not a book you can reference when needed.

These CD's are USELESS. I'm not sure who could benifit from buying this. There is no English spoken.

After going through the first CD I fast forewarded every CD just to see if maybe more was said later, but no. There is no explination in English of what is being said on the CD's.
DON'T WASTE YOU'RE MONEY. If ... Read More
