Summary: A Nursing Student's Best Friend
Review: As a nursing student in Southern California I interact with Spanish speaking clients on a daily basis. Medical Spanish Make Easy has proved to be an invaluable tool in facilitating communication between client and careprovider. One more than one ocasion I have used this book to assist myself and my client to understand each other in a way that has prevented a problem in the future. I recommend this book to other students as well as other practicing profesionals in any health care field where you interact with spanish speaking clients.

Review: I have taught many Medical Spanish courses and have used many different books plus my own materials edited for a particular segment; i.e., nurses, doctors, etc. I was very surprised that this book is so tiny. Nowhere is the size mentioned. That is not necessarily bad, just a shock. But it needs some proofreading for accent marks and items such as definite and indefinite articles. As long as a person is learning Spanish, even if "going through the back door," he or she needs to learn it correctly. No sense in being sloppy. Thanks, Amazon, for all the good work.
