Anónimos personajes se entremezclan y cruzan, enfrentándose a situaciones que en todo momento nos serán familiares, de una forma u otra en 37° ninguna circunstancia humana nos podrá resultar ajena. Ricardo nos invita a revisar, cuando no a revivir, los hechos y encuentros cotidianos de nuestra vida diaria y cuestionar su importancia real, desde una perspectiva donde nos veremos constantemente seducidos por la grandeza de lo trivial. A lo largo de los más de noventa relatos, donde se sugiere mucho más de lo que se explica, el lector comprobará como ninguna acción queda sin reacción, como nuestro sentido vital, nuestras opciones, nuestras decisiones... en definitiva, el día a día de nuestra vida, siempre tiene un efecto mariposa sobre nuestro futuro y el de aquellos que nos acompañan. Porque en el fondo, todos nos rebelamos contra la creencia de que lo normal se convierte en correcto cuando simplemente resulta habitual.

This is an intermediate/advanced level textbook directed toward students who are interested in learning the necessary medical terminology and cultural sensitivity to successfully care for the U.S. Spanish-speaking community in medical contexts. This textbook is divided into 13 chapters that include medical vocabulary, dialogues between medical professionals and patients, case studies, readings on health issues that affect the Latino community, readings to deepen students’ cultural competence while working with Latino patients, and interactive and realistic activities to provide students the tools they need to effectively care for this population. This textbook is unique in the market in its cultural perspective focused on the diversity and complexity of the Latino community living in the United States. The book addresses particular health concerns that affect the Hispanic population such as specific illnesses (diabetes type 2, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, HIV/AIDS, obesity, and liver disease) as well as barriers to accessing healthcare and, at the same time, the book highlights the complexity and diversity among this population. Most medical Spanish textbooks on the market only offer lists of words and common phrases to provide basic tools of communication to healthcare workers. Intermediate Medical Spanish: A Healthcare Workers' Guide for Communicating With the Latino Patient, by contrast, is directed to learners with intermediate and advanced levels of Spanish who wish to broaden their use of the target language in medical contexts. Some of the topics covered in the textbook are: children’s health, maternal and reproductive health, diet and nutrition, mental health, and physical therapy. The book includes hundreds of vocabulary exercises and critical thinking activities pertaining to cultural awareness. The book also includes a key for some of the vocabulary exercises, a Spanish-English glossary, and a list of common medical procedures
