This manual of instruction for lay persons called upon to treat medical problems in the absence of a professional is, to my knowledge, the best source of information for people who read Spanish. I recently gave copies to each of three Mayan families of my acquaintance in rural Guatemala--all of which include one or more family members who read Spanish. And I have suggested to executives of the NGO through which we are connected to make copies of this manual available to all other sponsors for distribution to other such families--at a discounted price, I hope, as $24 is steep. We are talking about thousands of families in a Guatemala alone, though there are many other countries served by this NGO. There are other books in this series, which address the particular medical issues of women, for example, as well one about dental problems. These books have been translated into many other languages.

Someone gave this book to my mom back in the early 90’s in Paraguay. At the age of 10 I discovered it and read the whole book a few times. It is was well explained that me at that age could clearly understand. It became my hobby in my free times. I remember every single detail of all pictures. Just bought it again cause I don’t know if it is still in my house after 15 I left my country. Can’t wait it arrives and read again.

This is outstanding basic health care book for charity volunteers or missions workers in Latin America. I bought the Spanish edition the first time when I was living in Mexico, read it myself, loaned it to Church volunteers, and used it in a supplemental health class in adult education here in the U.S.It's practical, compassionate, and understandable to nearly any literate person. A little Biology or Nursing background helps, but it is really great for anyone who would work in a rural setting.I recommend it!

Great! A must have if you want to learn medical spanish! I also personally find it awesome because it emphasizes cultural competence of folk medicine and teaches what those practices are! (for central america atleast).Its intended audience is for medical practitioners (folk healers and trained practioners alike) who are practicing medicine in rural latin america with scare resources and no hospital (or doctor, as the title suggests) in sight.-Britnay

Everything was as expected. I'd order again. As a medical interpreter, this has helped me so much. There are different versions of this book though (different years). You can easily find the ebook version for free online.

I gave the book to a pastor in el salvador. They live far from medical help. I received a message later that it saved a man's life. They recognized it was serious, so they traveled early to get medical help rather than waiting.

This is a superb book. Clear, concise and easy to use. Invaluable when used in the setting it was written for.

Conocí de su existencia al leer interesante y resiente artículo sobre salud de nuestro inteligentísimo y sabio Gabriel Zaid. Desde un principio pude sacarle provecho ante dos enfermedades que nos afectaron en familia: fuerte resfriado y una perrilla en el ojo. Ambas las curamos con lo que el libro sugiere. Gracias al doctor que lo escribió. Gracias a Zaid que lo recomendó.

Este libro es de gran ayuda para atender las necesidades de los habitantes de regiones carentes de atención médica. Les permite aprender sobre el manejo de urgencias médicas y enfermedades. Para los grupos misioneros es un gran apoyo para la enseñanza y preparación de auxiliares médicos rurales Un

Este manual lo compre para regalárselo a unos amigos que viven aislados y a 2 horas de un medico y 3.5 de un hospital
