I checked this one out from a library, and got everything I may possibly out of it within a week. Most of the book focuses on coping strategies to deal with the fact that you can’t converse in Spanish. This is especially helpful if using this book, because there isn’t a whole lot of vocab or in rank on how to converse in enough Spanish to use the vocab it does control. There is one chapter covering some of the basics of Spanish, and one more for medical vocab. The author is a medical lawyer and a corporal therapist, so he tends to focus more on pt vocab and legal advice. It would seem he wrote the book entirely from the scope of his knowledge base, without providing the depth you would want if you are any other sort of health professional, e.g. a nurse or doctor of any specialty.

The book is OK. I was more impressed with the novelist’s credentials than the book itself. I reckon for beginners it is excellent, but for intermediate speakers something else, more memorization oriented, would help with perhaps more lists and indexes of common medical phrases and terms geared towards technical language for legal consents, etc….
