Pocket Medical Spanish

The language barrier has been broken for non-Spanish speaking emergency & medical personnel assisting Hispanic patients who speak little or no English. Pocket Medical Spanish is much more than a dictionary & more practical than a phrase book or language course. It's an easy to use spiral-bound book of over 400 critical phrases, divided into 12 sections for quick reference. on the professional's side of each page is the phrase in English, in Spanish, & spelled phonetically for Spanish pronunciation. The Spanish phrase is also on the patient's side of the card in large, easy-to-read letters. All the phrases are either questions such as "Do you have chest pain?" or commands such as "Touch the part of your body that bothers you." The only Spanish that professionals need to know is "si", "no", or "no se" ("yes", "no", or "I don't know"). Pocket Medical Spanish is designed to fit lab-coat pockets & made of heavy, waterproofed paper, is ideal for use in ambulances, emergency rooms, hospitals & clinics, & by fire & police departments, EMTs, physicians, nurses, & chiropractors. Companion Audio tape with the phrases spoken by native speakers also available.Dollinger, Russell is the author of 'Pocket Medical Spanish' with ISBN 9780945585022 and ISBN 0945585020.
