Just a Word Doctor: Light-hearted Guide to Medical Terms (Oxford medical publications) Book

Here is an erudite yet light-hearted account of the origins tnd associations of about 500 medical and paramedical terms. The author presents words and usages from the ordinary, the curious, and the quaint, and examines such topics as how some words in current use were derived from archaic concepts of body function, why there are some words for which no polite terms were introduced, and the clarification of differences between similar words such as pill and tablet, trot and jog. The aim of this enjoyable work is to entertain rather than to instruct, and it will be of interest to medical professionals who use such terms every day, as well as anyone with an interest in the origin of words.Read More
