Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Many doctors in Hong Kong are trained in English but carry out their daily practice in Chinese. Both doctor and patient often find themselves defeated by the seemingly unbridgeable gulf caused by language, frequently compounded by the ignorance of many patients in matters of health and diseases, as understood from a Western perspective.
This bilingual handbook (now in its third edition), prepared by working surgeons, seeks to bridge the language gap. Compiled with practical patient care in mind, the medical terms are listed alphabetically in chapters arranged according to systems of the body and corresponding generally to the different specialties of medicine.
This handbook will prove a useful tool to doctors, dentists, medical students, nurses and other personnel in all branches of medical care. It is also a valuable reference for all those who wish to know medical terms in Chinese.
