The medical dictionary and alphabetical phrase sections will make it easy to find and cross-reference the correct Spanish-English words and phrases. There are also focused care dialogues ranging from AIDS, anesthesia, and breast exam, to unconscious patient, urinary retention, and visiting hours.

This book is so awesome. It has common phrases for each department. So if you work in Women services just flip to your portion or the general questions for patient history. This book is well organized and straight forward. I bought it for a class but this is one book I will keep for life.
