Hi there & thanks in advance for your help!
I would like to purchase / subscribe to a Spanish to English medical dictionary & I was wondering which one is best. It needs to be extremely in-depth with all clinical terms & abbreviations found in letters, reports, lab tests etc.
Thank you for your advice.

| One of the best | Dec 11, 2016 |
cosnautas.com
It's an English>Spanish encyclopedic dictionary.

I strongly recommend the Diccionario de términos médicos by the Spanish Royal Academy of Medicine (Real Academia Nacional de Medicina). ISBN 978-8498351835. Affordable, up-to-date, and comprehensive.
This is a dictionary in Spanish language with terms in English. It will help you confirm that the terms obtained from a bilingual dictionary are the right ones.
Cosnautas is definitely the way to go if you are allergic to paper.

Nothing is extremely anything. What's next? Totally in-depth? Absolutely in-depth? How about very detailed, thorough, comprehensive, etc.?
No dictionary, no matter how well conceived and structured, can substitute for so-so writing skills.

Erm... what??? How about the novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer?
Or Royal Society of Literature fellow, writer Zadie Smith? "The roots of rap are originally ghetto-ised or extremely working class. So when you're an artist who's making something which isn't how its mainstream appearance should be, there's always these strange questions of authenticity and what you have to do to be 'real' as a rapper."
Or Oscar Wilde, maybe? "Arguments are extremely vulgar, for everyone in good society holds exactly the same opinion."

A Proz user comes asking for advice, and all you can be bothered to do is criticise their writing skills?
Perhaps the three people quoted above have "so-so writing skills" too? Or maybe you should check your own grammatical knowledge before responding?

| My personal preference | Dec 23, 2016 |
I utilize my Vox Medical Spanish and English Dictionary ISBN-13: 978-0071749183. Online, I am a huge fan of medlineplus.gov because all of their articles in English are also available in Spanish which is really useful when you want to know how to explain certain conditions or procedures in both languages.
