Today， China is in a more open era. Not only can we travel， butincreasingly， more overseas people are coming to China to accessour medical services. Accurate communication with overseaspatients in English must be a basic requirement for all medicalpractitioners with a moral intent to providing a quality service.
Due to the specificity of medicine and doctor training， ourcountry is currently implementing standardized trainingfor residents and specialists. Despite the prescribed andgeneral English training， specialized medical English learningmaterials are absent from bridging general medical Englishand specialized medical English resources. Each ‘specialty’demands its vocabulary and context， so Chinese medicalspecialists should become comfortable conversing with foreignpatients in English using relevant terms and vocabulary whilebeing sensitive to foreign culture.
This book is designed specifically for neurosurgical residentsand specialists， providing vocabulary， phrases， bodylanguage and cross-cultural awareness in textbook form andsimulated doctor-patient interactions. The book’s contentattends to specialist and general medical English， associated clinical cases， English explanations of medical equipment，and physical examinations protocols in English (includingpronunciation)， essential grammar tips， surgery explanations，medical documentation and scholarly communication. This book also pays attention to the cultural differences between Chinese and English expressions in medical treatment. We havedesigned this book to be conveniently used as a reference pocketbook for doctors of all levels.
As my mother tongue is Chinese， and English is my secondlanguage， I relied on several people to help compile andcomplete this English language medical handbook. Dr.Augustine K. Ballah grasped my vision for the Book， and as aresult of his painstaking work has made this medical handbooka reality. Without his commitment， the book would not have resulted.
Thanks to Mr. Peter Guy， my old friend and my English tutor， forhis careful revision of the original manuscript and Dr. Alvin NahDoe from thousands of miles away for his specific revision andadvice on the book’s practical and accurate clinical aspects.
Thanks Professor Ling Feng for setting the direction required forpublication and using the book in practical terms. Of course，I also want to thank my young students， whose desire was thedriving force for me to utilize my spare time to write this book.I want to thank my colleagues in my hospital and departmentfor their trust and help， which made it possible for me to do thiswork well.
Thanks to my family for supporting and understanding theneed to sacrifice family time to write this book. Of course， Iwould also like to thank my readers in advance for uncoveringinformation gaps and proposing amendments to develop thehandbook into a pocketbook further that all doctors will cherish.
