Lægedansk (Danish for Doctors)
This spoken edition of the book SUBJEKTIVT OG OBJEKTIVT is meant to facilitate the acquisition of the printed edition of the book, which deals with the two major parts of the patient record. SUBJEKTIVT for the medical history of the patient and OBJEKTIVT for the medical reporting of clinical findings.
As Danish, and thereby also medical professions’ Danish, among other European languages holds the largest distance between spoken and written forms, the aim of this spoken edition is to enable doctors with a non-Danish background to use it as a pronunciation guide while working with the printed edition. The spoken edition is therefore recommended to be used as a work of reference rather than for reading from page one to the end, i.e. listening while reading, alternating with sequences of LISTEN AND READ – STOP AND SPEAK.
