This is an intermediate/advanced level textbook directed toward students who are interested in learning the necessary medical terminology and cultural sensitivity to successfully care for the U.S. Spanish-speaking community in medical contexts. This textbook is divided into 13 chapters that include medical vocabulary, dialogues between medical professionals and patients, case studies, readings on health issues that affect the Latino community, readings to deepen students’ cultural competence while working with Latino patients, and interactive and realistic activities to provide students the tools they need to effectively care for this population. This textbook is unique in the market in its cultural perspective focused on the diversity and complexity of the Latino community living in the United States. The book addresses particular health concerns that affect the Hispanic population such as specific illnesses (diabetes type 2, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, HIV/AIDS, obesity, and liver disease) as well as barriers to accessing healthcare and, at the same time, the book highlights the complexity and diversity among this population. Most medical Spanish textbooks on the market only offer lists of words and common phrases to provide basic tools of communication to healthcare workers. Intermediate Medical Spanish: A Healthcare Workers' Guide for Communicating With the Latino Patient, by contrast, is directed to learners with intermediate and advanced levels of Spanish who wish to broaden their use of the target language in medical contexts. Some of the topics covered in the textbook are: children’s health, maternal and reproductive health, diet and nutrition, mental health, and physical therapy. The book includes hundreds of vocabulary exercises and critical thinking activities pertaining to cultural awareness. The book also includes a key for some of the vocabulary exercises, a Spanish-English glossary, and a list of common medical procedures

A lo largo de una noche Antonio escribe febrilmente una carta. Una carta feroz, desgarradora y compulsiva cuyo autor no puede dejar de escribir durante una larga noche. La escritura es lo único que alivia el sufrido dolor de Antonio tras el abandono de Juanjo. “¿Recuerdas cuánto te quiero, a ti, cómo te quiero? ¿Recuerdas? ¿Me quieres recordar?” Antonio, que siempre ha huido del amor, de repente topa con él y lo único que hace es dejarlo escapar. Arrepentido y afligido la escritura de esta carta es como un conjuro para que regrese Juanjo; un descenso a sus propios infiernos, de los que sale una narración brillante y atrevida. Te esperaré, novela ganadora del II Premio Odisea de Literatura, acreditó a Tomás Ortiz (Madrid, 1978) como uno de los autores más destacados de su generación. Apasionado de la literatura desde la infancia, Tomás inició con Te esperaré (2000) su particular visión sobre la pérdida del ser amado que continuó con Seguiré aquí cuando despiertes (2003) y que culmina con Los amigos de Sebastián y Tu otra mitad (2008). A estos títulos hay que añadir un pequeño y delicioso pecado llamado Contactos (Libido, 2001) que aún consigue sonrojar al autor.

Spanish-speaking patients are no rarity in United States hospitals and clinics, as many English-speaking health care providers have discovered. To help these providers better communicate with the patients they serve, Ana Malinow Rajkovic has prepared the Manual for (Relatively) Painless Medical Spanish, a lively and innovative self-teaching guide to the grammar, pronunciation, and medical vocabulary of Spanish. Presented in a systematic and highly entertaining fashion, twelve lessons cover some of the most commonly encountered situations. These include the family clinic, the emergency room, appendicitis, the social chat, pregnancy, family planning, pelvic inflammatory disease and urinary tract infection, depression, children with asthma, patients with angina, explaining a venipuncture and a spinal tap, and patients with shortness of breath. Each lesson closes with a bilingual interview that includes vocabulary and grammar introduced in that lesson. A guide to the medical history and physical examination appears in English and Spanish in the appendix. Excellent in the classroom or for independent learning, the Manual will enable health care providers better to understand and supply the needs of Spanish-speaking patients.
