Foreign Translations, Inc. A global provider of document translation services in over 75 language combinations, has recently completed the translation of the Globetrotter’s Pocket Doc Series for Caduceus International LLC. Caduceus is a publisher of medically oriented books designed specifically for travelers. The most recently published book is the Globetrotter's Pocket Doc Series authored by Jonathan E. Jensen, MD FACP. The series is designed to address the communication issues involved with international travelers when facing major and minor medical problems in a foreign country. The series includes approximately 50 medical illnesses that would likely cause an individual to seek medical attention in an Emergency Department or by a personal physician. The Globetrotter's Pocket Doc is the only international medical communication book in English for travelers to foreign countries. “By taking a complete medical history, the physician obtains extremely valuable information regarding the current medical problem,” says Dr. Jensen. “What is key to a history is obtaining, in an unbiased manner, the pertinent background information regarding an illness.

The book is written from the standpoint of a physician but in layman’s terms. By answering “yes” to a series of questions, a very thorough medical history of a patient is available to foreign health care providers. The Globetrotter’s Pocket Doc Series was translated into multiple languages to surmount the natural language barriers inherent to travel. Ensuring accurate translation is paramount to the success of this type of communication effort.” The Globetrotter's Pocket Doc Series is currently available in French, with additional editions in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German and Russian becoming available in the near future. Foreign Translations, Inc. has provided invaluable translation services assistance in the making of this series. The book can be purchased online at www.pktdoc.com for 30% off the list price.
