ATA Chronicle, 01-FEB-09, Maria de la Paz Garcia Cortes -- When I started assessing the dictionary by Herrera Mc Elroy and Lola Grabb, I was pleasantly surprised. I have to say that this is a very complete tool not only for translators, but also for anyone who works in the medical field and needs to know medical terms in both English and Spanish...The authors provide a clear explanation of how to use this dictionary. The A to Z organization and the circled letter on the side of the page allow the user to find terms quickly...Apart from the glossaries, the Diccionario Medico Espanol-Ingles-Ingles-Espanol includes several appendices with detailed information on Spanish and English grammar and pronunciation, medical phrases, medical tests, illnesses, medications, and even bioterrorism. In addition, there are separate sections with examples of health care documents and an anatomy atlas. By including information on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the Bill of Rights of the Patient, and examples of different types of consent forms, this dictionary is a great tool to familiarize the user with important aspects of the health care field in the U.S...In conclusion, the Diccionario Medico Espanol-Ingles-Ingles-Espanol is a very good reference tool. With such a wide variety of subjects and excellent organization, it could be used by professional translators, health care professionals, translation and interpreting students, as well as medical students.
