Review of Prospanish Healthcare: Spanish for Family Practitioners [AUDIOBOOK] [ILLUSTRATED] (Paperback)

I am a Pharmacist with a lot of Spanish speaking clientele.I like the cassettes, but the gentleman speaking has such a thick accent, I have to rely on the woman speaking, to hear the enunciation. The CME is a joke. There are 10 chapter exams (3-12 questions each) and you have to send in $30 PER exam for 3 credits each. That will be $300 for 30 CME credit hours, and only for MD's.Book content VERY NICE: greeting, nouns, numbers, symptoms, physical exam, chief complaint, pap smear, well baby, lab tests, ER, pain, derm, opth, herbal, Rx, dental, family, diet, neuro exam, household items; Tomar/comer/cerrar/dormir/hacer/ir a/poner/venir/tener/estar/ decir/ser/ir/traer/salir/oir/pensar/perder/volver/haber. Also a lot of dialogues completely translated. Appendix finds all answers to chapter exams. (not same as CME questions).I recommend this medical intro. It helps me in my practice, it would certainly help an MD, nurse, PA, DDS and OD as well.
