This book was released on 2021-07-10 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a practical, case-based approach, Spanish and the Medical Interview: Clinical Cases and Exam Review is a unique, immersive study and review resource for medical Spanish. It provides extensive training and review in two formats: the print book contains numerous cases spanning a wide variety of clinical settings, formatted as a patient would present for medical attention, while the audio cases provide multiple opportunities to hone your listening comprehension skills.

Covers multiple presentations of cases in main organ system areas, including musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, genitourinary, neurologic, psychiatric, eye/ear/nose/throat, and pediatric, in multiple patient care settings such as urgent care, emergency department, outpatient clinic, and inpatient wards. · Focuses on topics that are particularly common in Hispanic/Latino patients and includes cultural health issues that may impact the patient's understanding of medical information, belief system, decision-making preferences, or access to care—all of which have a significant impact on your medical decision making and interviewing styles and effectiveness. Leads you through key information for each case, prompting you to use your medical Spanish clinical skills in a series of prompts and questions as the case unfolds. Assessment questions follow each case to test your comprehension. Provides more than two dozen audio cases to improve your listening comprehension of different nationalities and accents of Spanish-speaking patients. Provides real-world content from Drs. Pilar Ortega and Marco Alemán, who serve on the steering committee for the National Medical Spanish Taskforce that aims to standardize the educational approach to a national assessment examination for Medical Spanish. Expands your global skills set: in your home country, when caring for patients who speak Spanish, or when caring for patients in other countries through global medicine programs.

Download or read book Palabra de madre written by Ibone Olza and published by VERGARA. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Qué es ser madre? Palabra de madre parte de la historia personal de la autora, como madre y como profesional de la sanidad y activista, para plantear sus contradicciones e indecisiones en torno a la experiencia maternal, así como su desconcierto acerca de cómo los sistemas de salud de nuestra sociedad han ignorado y boicoteado la sabiduría reunida en relación con ella. «Me gustaría comprender qué clase de madre he sido. Captar, aunque sea de manera fugaz, el núcleo de mi experiencia maternal. Y así, de paso, comprender mejor la experiencia maternal en su sentido más amplio: la de todas las madres. Empecé a ser consciente de la profunda escisión, de cómo los sistemas de salud han ignorado a las madres y negado sus experiencias y conocimientos, y de cómo la ausencia de ese conocimiento maternal ha dado lugar a una ciencia sesgada y en muchos casos dañina. Todo ese conocimiento basado en la evidencia científica se estrella a diario contra la realidad de una sociedad heredera de décadas y siglos de desprecio hacia la maternidad.» Así, las circunstancias personales de cada madre, a menudo tortuosas y adversas, adquieren otro matiz cuando las analizamos desde lo histórico-social. «Mis circunstancias... Tendré que volver sobre ellas para lo que me propongo: comprender a la madre que fui y a la que ahora soy, con la esperanza de que tal vez sirva para entender y cuidar mejor al resto de las madres». Sobre Palabra de madre: «Todas las madres nos merecemos este libro. Porque todas sin excepción necesitamos estas palabras balsámicas para aplacar las soledades de la maternidad contemporánea. Ibone Olza nos regala un espejo de vivencias, luchas,intuiciones, dudas y cicatrices, que de tan propias se convierten en colectivas. Este libro viene a politizar la culpa endémica (y algunas otras heridas) que se nos inocula desde una sociedad profundamente maternofóbica. Y lo hace con toda la potencia de la ternura, la empatía radical y una catártica escritura». Silvia Nanclares, autora de Quién quiere ser madre « Palabra de madre es un libro honesto y emocionante, político y poético, capaz de acompañar a todas las madres que tienen todavía heridas abiertas en el cuerpo y en la memoria. Ibone Olza ha escrito este libro para todas nosotras. Y también para una sociedad que sigue dando la espalda a las madres». Carmen G. de la Cueva, autora de Mamá, quiero ser feminista

Download or read book Manual for Relatively Painless Medical Spanish written by Ana Malinow Rajkovic and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
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. 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

Download or read book Niebla de Sortilegios written by Rufino Pérez and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-03-12 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Niebla de Sortilegios retrata la extraordinaria travesía por la vida de una mujer con dotes naturales únicos, matizados por una gracia inusual, la que proyecta a su alrededor con magia intrínseca. Robertina cautiva a cuantas personas interactúan con ella, utilizando todo un arsenal de atributos que incluyen el humor, la fortaleza de espíritu, la lealtad, la generosidad, la fe y un sentido orgánico y profundo del amor. Desde muy joven, selectivamente se mide al estandarte moral y al carácter audaz de su madre adoptiva, su tía Romelia, y hurga en el trasfondo pernicioso de la ignorancia y el derroche desenfrenado de su padre adoptivo, Manuel Santana, para crecer en razón y juicio. Cuando su ineludible conformación anatómica de mujer la lleva instintivamente a desear una compañía de vida, una fuerza natural maravillosa la lleva a casarse con su propio hermano de crianza, con quien se sumerge en una tórrida fusión marital, hasta el día de su muerte. Aunque nunca ha ido a la escuela, Robertina es poseedora de una sabiduría insólita, con la que logra tejer su propio juicio en torno a temas tan complicados como el significado de la vida, de la muerte y el más allá. Concibe con independencia de criterio las enseñanzas de la Biblia, al punto de ser capaz de establecer sus propias interpretaciones sobre la figura histórica y apoteósica de Jesucristo. Su sabiduría innata la lleva a conjeturar muy locuazmente sobre derivaciones filosóficas muy inteligentes. Al caer súbitamente enferma con un cáncer devastador y violento, en Niebla de Sortilegios se narra como la vida de un ser humano surtida de gracia y buenaventura puede terminar en las trincheras del azar y la casualidad. Años después de su muerte su sarcófago termina siendo profanado y su cráneo robado, por estudiantes extranjeros de medicina. Aquel inesperado desenlace póstumo, deja a sus propios parientes inmersos en la fragua de una enmarañada trilogía conceptual: duda sobre la justeza de un ser divino, escepticismo sobre la existencia o no de una fuerza sobrenatural y resignación ante el poder descomunal del sentido arbitrario ubicuo de la vida.

Download or read book The Entrem s for Performance written by Kerry Wilks and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bilingual anthology brings together a collection of Spanish entremeses, the comic interludes that were performed between the acts of a comedia. Penned by authors such as Lope de Rueda, Cervantes, Calderón, Quevedo, and Quiñones de Benavente, many of these plays appear here for the first time in English. Translated for performability, these plays create a panoramic view of one-act plays from Spain’s classical theater period. Presented with discussions of dramaturgical and performance possibilities and difficulties, including relevant historical, cultural, and social information for the plays, the collection opens with two precursors to the entremés, moves through the breadth of the entremés form, and concludes with works from the 18th century, including a sainete. There are also examples of trans-adaptation that show how these works can be interpreted through strong directorial concepts that relocate the plays in historical time and location. The selected titles raise challenges to social mores and expectations, surprise with their humor, and delight with their stagecraft. Whether aimed at the classroom or the stage, the collection is valuable for research, pedagogy, and performance.
