5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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!)

5 out of 5 stars 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!

5 out of 5 stars 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.

3 out of 5 stars 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.


5 out of 5 stars 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.

3 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars 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.

Great medical bilingual dictionary. It includes the necessary medical terminology as well as many common words and verbs which might be helpful in explaining treatment, or foods to avoid for example.

I purchased several of the handbooks for our medical office. We care for high risk OB patients, many of whom are Spanish speaking only. Even our Spanish speaking medical assistants have found the book helpful in finding words they don't use frequently, but need in our setting.

The review talked about the CD-ROM and work book that comes with the book. These were offered at my local bookstore, but did not arrive with my order.
Amazon told me the work book would have to be ordered separately, from an outside website.
Don't order from Amazon if you need the other two items.

5 out of 5 stars excellent english/spanish medical dictionary.......2007-10-15

Very well written and useful. The author is a bilingual medical doctor. As a practicing physician, he is well aware of commonly used medical terms and phrases. This book is very practical and easy to use. I recommend it highly.

5 out of 5 stars Great small medical dictionary.......2007-08-28

I am a General Surgeon and lead a team of volunteers every year to work in Guatemala. I have bought copies of this book for all members of our team. It has concise, appropiate and complete entries for the clinical situations we encounter on a regular basis. No other dictionary that we have tried over the years comes close to the utility of this one. Other larger and more expensive dictionaries such as Mosby's (approximately $275 on Amazon) are not as comprehensive when it comes to the phrases and vocabulary necessary to communicate in a clinical setting. This little book is a gem and I recommend it highly.

1 out of 5 stars Medical Dictionary.......2007-08-01

Terrible...thank goodness I bought a different one (Diccionario Mosby) otherwise, I would have been in trouble as far as the classes were concerned. Definitely returned it...(and thankfully so, my friend was able to return hers as well due to having the same result as I unfortunately did).

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource for your busy practice.......2007-01-22

I highly recommend the English-Spanish Medical Dictionary by Glenn Rogers to any medical practitioner struggling to communicate with their ever increasing Spanish speaking clients. This dictionary has every conceivable medical word that you might use during an office visit. I also like the history and physical phrases in the back. I have used some of these when I have had trouble asking sensitive questions. \

As an amateur Interpreter, currently studying in the field, my professor asked us to obtain this dictionary and it is incredibly precise, easy to use and seems to have virtually anything you can think of - or come across.

Also has an explanation of medical prefixes and suffixes in English AND Spanish - with a little more effort, a layperson can get a firm idea of how medical terminology functions by studying this section.

An important addition for anyone who desires a comprehensive dictionary of medical terms.

No illustrations, but excellent. Mosby's bilingual is comparable but hard to find used. Both recommended by top interpreters/translators.

This is a "must have" book for professional medical interpreters and translators. It includes an extensive and very specialized vocabulary of alternative medicine as well as conventional medicine. The best book I've found yet.

This is the best Spanish-English book I have ever purchased! You must get this book for help and better understanding.

5 out of 5 stars great book.......2004-01-06

I have found this book very valuable. I am a medical student and my Spanish is intermediate. I can communicate well on a conversational level, but medical terms are a whole different story. This book is excellent. Not only do I use it to look up the proper medical terms, but it also provides examples of more common terms used to describe conditions that are easier for patients to understand. What has been very helpful is a systems-based guide to interview questions. For example it provides you with a list of common questions you would ask a patient who complains of abdominal pain. It also provides a concise review of verb tenses and noun declension. My copy of this book is very well loved. It has seen me through four years of employment in the ER and four years of medical school. Perhaps the mentally challenged reviewers who gave this book poor reviews should learn to read before attempting to learn a different language :)

5 out of 5 stars Best Medical Spanish Dictionary I've Used.......2003-02-18

In the past 10 years, as a medical interpreter and health care professional, I've tried at least half a dozen medical Spanish dictionaries and this is by far the best, most accurate, and most comprehensive. It has much more of the technical vocabulary one would use in conversation with other health care providers than any other, yet still has the words that patients understand. I highly recommend it, though it may be a bit overwhelming for beginners -- it's not as useful as a "quick reference" for someone who doesn't speak a lot of Spanish.

4 out of 5 stars Say what?!.......2001-12-07

I have to wonder which book the negative reviewers are reviewing.

As to the complaint that there is no pronunciation guide to English or Spanish, for example, the first page of the Spanish side starts with a description of the Spanish alphabet followed by a pronunciation guide to Spanish; corresponding features appear on the very first page of the English side, too.

I am a professional Spanish translator, and I refer to this book for specialized medical terms when I translate. I also make use of the abbreviation conversion table (which, unfortunately, is alphabetized only in English alphabetical order, making it hard to go from a Spanish abbreviation to an English one), and the helpful conversion tables for roots, prefixes, and suffixes.

The main fault with this book is that there could be more. If you are looking for diseases, conditions, or symptoms, or even sample examination interview questions (organized by topic in an appendix), it's great! But if you are looking for the translations for medicines, you can pretty much forget about finding them (acetaminophen? amoxicillin? pseudoephedrine? hardly uncommon medicines, but not in here), but perhaps that is a subject worthy of its own separate volume. Still, if you are wanting help talking to your Spanish-speaking patients about their illnesses, conditions, and treatments--and assuming that you have no reason to use the Spanish words for the medicines anyway--this is an excellent resource to buy, to get familiar with, and to have on hand. I always recommend it to any doctor, nurse, or paramedic who asks me for a good Spanish medical reference.

1 out of 5 stars Not for Translators.......2001-10-09

The contents of the dictionary are very inadequate for translators who need to know the English term for the Spanish one and only serves as a mediocre tool for Health Care Professionals who want to learn a few Spanish words here and there. It is not at all comprehensive. I give it one star because the design of the book cover is attractive.
