Spanish-speaking patients are no rarity in United States hospitals and clinics, as many English-speaking health care providers have discovered To help these providers better communicate with the patients they serve, Ana Malinow Rajkovic has prepared the Manual for (Relatively) Painless Medical Spanish, a lively and innovative self-teaching guide to the grammar, pronunciation, and medical vocabulary of Spanish.

Presented in a systematic and highly entertaining fashion, twelve lessons cover some of the most commonly encountered situations. These include the family clinic, the emergency room, appendicitis, the social chat, pregnancy, family planning, pelvic inflammatory disease and urinary tract infection, depression, children with asthma, patients with angina, explaining a venipuncture and a spinal tap, and patients with shortness of breath. Each lesson closes with a bilingual interview that includes vocabulary and grammar introduced in that lesson. A guide to the medical history and physical examination appears in English and Spanish in the appendix.

Excellent in the classroom or for independent learning, the Manual will enable health care providers better to understand and supply the needs of Spanish-speaking patients.

Dan Piraro, creator of the Klibanesque comic "Bizarro", takes an uncomfortable journey into the homes of his deranged and well-mannered fans. Because Piraro's publishing company refused to pay for a book tour for his most recent collection of cartoons, he came up with the potentially dangerous idea of contacting his fan base and asking them to send him plane tickets, drive him around, and let him stay in their homes. Before chronicling his adventures on the road, Piraro presents a painfully funny narration of his Catholic upbringing, describing nuns as women who "talk several times each day to invisible beings," and whose job it is to "teach heathen children the value of mindless complicity to authority." The second section of the book, where Piraro relates his travels among the comics fans, is less cruelly funny but nonetheless good reading. The stories of those who were kind enough to cart around a strange cartoonist are surprisingly touching. As an added bonus, the spirit of Wheel of Fortune's Pat Sajak serves as Piraro's guardian angel throughout his travels..
