Spanish for Health Care Professionals

Author: Harvey, William C.
Date Published: 1994


If you're a doctor, a nurse or other hospital professional, this self-teaching book will help you communicate with patients whose only language is Spanish. Even if you can't speak a word of Spanish, you'll find the words and phrases you need to know, and you'll quickly learn to use them in practical situations. Included are: advice on listening comprehension and on how to pronounce Spanish phrases relating to interviews with patients; true-to-life dramatized situations that focus on a fictional Spanish-speaking family who must deal with medical personnel on details regarding hospital admission, questions about their symptoms, and typical documentation procedures. Through these dialogues you will also learn Spanish phrases dealing with check-out, pregnancy, pediatric care, heart and lung diseases, geriatric care, communicable diseases, drug problems, emergencies, birth control, surgery, and more.
