McGraw-Hill's Quick and Easy Medical Spanish w/Audio CD

Well, mine came with a CD and a book. The book starts with the basics and can be used both by those who have no or little background in spanish and also those who want to improve their spanish by increasing their health care related vocabulary. The CD is packed with fast paced dialogue where the narrator hardly takes a breath. I actually liked the "high-school" format where you fill in the blanks since it helps to better memorize the new words etc. Do not have a comparison but I felt the package met my expectations.

I selected this product because it was supposed to come with an audio CD. However when I received it from Amazon there was no CD included. When I contacted Amazon, they apologized and said it was no longer available from the distributer (so I'm suprised to still see it advertised with the CD on this site). I ended up ordering it direct from McGraw-Hill (with the CD). This is my first disappointing experience with AMazon, but I'd recommend you save yourself the hassle (and extra shipping) and order it direct from McGraw-Hill.
As for the product itself, it would help to have a pretty good background in Spanish grammar before starting, since it is a bit strangely organized. Overall, it's a good start to learning medical Spanish.

I was looking for a book with phrases and commonly used medical terms, that also included a CD. I flipped through this book after I received it and appeared more like a high school workbook. There were translation exercises. I'm an ER nurse and writing spanish is not what I really need. Consider carefully what you need before purchasing. I am returning it and buying "On Target: Spanish for Healthcare Providers". Hopefully this one will be better.
