Medical Handbooks, Dictionaries

[VANCHU, ANTHONY J. (JSC-AH) (TTI)]

I'm replying to the list in case this might be of others.

There is a series on medical vocabulary and expressions in various languages
(Russian happening to be one of them) by JDV Publishing.  We've used
successfully in our program with flight surgeons who've needed to learn some
basic medical Russian.  Although mostly intended for physicians to use over
here with Russian-speaking patients, it still should be helpful.

It's called:  Pocket Medical Russian by Russel K. Dollinger, JDV Publishing.
ISBN 0-945585-13-6

It has a flip-chart phrase book and an audio tape and, as I recall, was not
horribly expensive.

Contact numbers for the publisher:  (800) 788-0064 or (818) 343-1648

The one drawback that I'm aware of is that it doesn't go into cultural
differences in how medical exams are given, what sorts of questions might be
considered inappropriate, etc.

Hope this might help.

Dear SEELANGERS!
   I have a friend (and former Russian language student) who is a
medical doctor.  He went to Russia to be trained (by an American team)
as a midwife.  He has returned to Russia several times since in various
capacities, but it now planning to go to Russia and practice medicine
there.  He has learned a great deal of Russian over the years, but wants
to work on his "medical Russian". Does anyone know of language resources
that might be useful for him?
    Please reply off list.
