  - Great aid for the Health Care ProfessionalsThis book was an immediate help to be able to begin the vitals and check in process. It is not a know all/do all, but it does help a lot. Rating:  - OKThe book was so-so. I've studied several languages before, including spanish, and I'm not convinced the usage is correct throughout. If I had a choice, I would not purchase this book again, but I think it will help increase my vocabulary, if nothing else. Rating: - I think they are reading the book as they go (on the CD)Great idea, a bit sloppy in execution (you can hear them turning pages as they go through the book, editting is choppy, sounds like a cassette (inherent hiss) but is on CD. In spite of these, so far it seems to me the content is good, and the "rough edges" on the CD are easily overlooked. I'm slowly learning Spanish, and I'm sure this will help me with my health care related vocabulary. Botton line: So so quality, but content is there. Would have expected a more polished product from such a large publishing firm. Rating: - Order and quality a bit questionable...I have spent more time listening to the audio tape and given that I do so in my car w/o the book to accompany it, I found the order of the tape to be most confusing. As a fairly good Spanish speaker already, it was confusing to have the section go from "basic" Spanish such as numbers or colors to rather detailed instructions for performing a physical inquiry or exam back to "basic" items. There seemed to be no logical order (again, not using the book in conjunction) to the sequence of the tape. Additionally, I found the quality of the tape lacking where the words were inaudible as if recorded in a tunnel. I was hoping for a clear pronunciation of many of the medical terms which did not exist. I cannot comment on the book as I have not yet "tackled" this based on my experience with the tape. All in all, the words and phrases are present and will help if you are brave enough and have the time to invest in listening and reading start to finish. |
