language and pronunciation issues of American figurative language utilized
in today’s healthcare settings.

“Medically Speaking Idioms is just what the doctor ordered!
This is an excellent resource for foreign-trained medical professionals
who are exposed to hundreds of confusing figurative expressions every
day in the workplace. The idioms are ones that we use all the time
in the Massachusetts General Hospital Emergency Room, where I have
been a social worker for the past 12 years. The explanations are clear,
and the dialogues are illustrative and realistic. In addition to learning
the actual expressions, it will be helpful for non-native speakers
to come to understand the underlying humor in many of the scenarios.
I recommend this program to anyone struggling to "figure out" the
nuances of American English.”
