Download or read book Intermediate Medical Spanish written by Diana Galarreta-Aima and published by BrownWalker Press. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laurita cogió rápidamente una silla y parándose encima trató de observar por la pequeña y alta ventana sin percatarse que sus bellas piernas producían una mirada fija en el doctor Frías. Laura se esforzaba por fisgar detenidamente, pudiendo advertir sólo un tumulto de gente rodeando algo, Carlos Venturo era ese algo y esa mañana había decidido quitarse la vida ingresando furtivamente al nosocomio y dejándose caer desde el quinto piso. Así empieza unos de los cuentos que componen esta perturbadora decena narrativa en que la inquietante clientela del doctor Frías lleva su patología al límite, para finalmente terminar pareciéndose a nosotros. El autor explora los problemas familiares y matrimoniales, la soledad y el desamor. El cirujano plástico que funge de personaje principal y eje del libro se refugia en extrañas y misteriosas experiencias oníricas descubriendo de este modo un escape a la atemorizante realidad. Un conjunto de textos con la profundidad reflexiva de Paul Auster, la precisión idiomática de los mejores textos de Raymond Carver y una sensualidad mezcla de Nabokov y Bkovsky.

Pero la vida de Lupe fue así, siempre rodeada de hechos como salidos de la leyenda. Desde las polvorientas calles de San Pedrito, en el Oriente de Cuba, se trillo una carrera como interprete de música popular, hizo temblar la revolución de Fidel Castro, llego a los Estados Unidos, donde se situó en el trono incuestionable de La Reina de la Canción Latina. En esta obra, el autor desvela la vida de la artista como nunca nadie antes lo había hecho, con una narrativa dramática, emotiva, triste y perturbadora, llevando al lector a los mas oscuros rincones de la vida de la diva, así como también a los mas cándidos, leales, humanos y amorosos sentimientos de los que siempre fue dueña La Lupe. La Lupe, una Reina Poseída, revela la verdadera vida de Lupe Victoria Yoli Raymond, sin leyendas, sin tapujos. Conozca sus momentos de triunfos, así como los momentos amargos, de dolor miseria y abandono por los que tuvo que pasar esta extraordinaria mujer.
