The Medical Library Association’s “Deciphering MedSpeak” Pamphlets Help Demystify Doctors’ Drivel Definitively
old latin greek script penn provenance project johannes zeyss


For that small minority of civilians out there that have wondered what a given doctor-critter was saying on TV, in-print, online, -anywhere;

The Medical Library Association has put out a guide just for you.

It’s basically in the format of a small, pamphletized Dictionary with whole & partial terms, prefixes & suffixes, all under each starting-letter and a short, plain-english explanation underneath.

They have both General term guides and also those Specific to a few isolated conditions, like Heart Disease, Diabetes, etc.

The main dictionary is available as both a web page and a PDF, where the more specific guides seem only available as the latter.

So if you ever wanted to decipher all those Pig-Latin words in a diagnosis or pharmacological haiku, providing you could first unscramble the doctor’s terrible handwriting, then the MLA’s little secret-decoder-pamphlets are right up your alley!

 
Check out their stuff at the Links:
