Spanish medical terms?

Can't Post | Private Reply

Anyone spot a reference book for translation of Spanish medical terms, either here at Lakeside or online? I'd like to be able to translate lab results, but surprisingly some of the terms are hard to find with an internet search.

The structure of this lexicon is a bit strange, but with a little fooling around, you can get what you need to know.

Thanks as always, Rolly! You continue to be a big help in our settling-in-Mexico process. I finally took the easy way out, and looked up "CBC blood test" on "ahealthyme.com" which is the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mass. website. It is the same test, so I could match the words, and then look up the English explanation. This is a good website if you want to read up on anything medical, and you can subscribe to their monthly newsletter (membership not required) which keeps me up to date on the latest in treatment, prevention, etc. Unlike some of the condescending "wellness" info one gets from insurance co's in the US, this site offers intelligently written useful info. I just mention this in case it might be helpful to others.

The LCS also has a Spanish/English medical reference for sale.

This site might be of some help: http://users.ugent.be/~rvdstich/eugloss/ES/lijst.html you may choose several languages, the link is for the Spanish language.

This one is in Spanish for pharmaceuticals, but it might be useful for someone that is an English only speaker using a translating dictionary: http://www.plmlatina.com/cddef/mex/alfabetica/A.htm
