What did my doctor say? - www.mlanet.org/page/what-did-my-doctor-say
The special words doctors and nurses use can be hard to understand. You
may see or hear these words at your doctor’s office, on the Internet,
on the radio or TV, or in newspapers or magazines. We call these words
“Medspeak.” The Medical Library Association created this page
to help you understand what a doctor or nurse tells you. You’ll
find tips on how to understand many health words. The terms on this site
were created with the help of the Working Group for Health Literacy, Massachusetts
Health Sciences Library Network (MAHSLIN).

Get timely, reliable health and safety information about food, drugs, medical
devices, vaccines, pet food, pet medicine, and more.
