Archaic Medical Terms
These aren’t the medical terms you’d hear on ER, St Elsewhere, Scrubs, House, Kingdom Hospital, Angels, Holby City, Casualty, Marcus Welby MD, Dr. Kildare (maybe - it was a long time ago!) or Grays Anatomy. “Oh no, he’s got Chronic Flux! Look at her Ramollissement!!!”. Still, it might liven things up. “You have got Rising of the Lights…”.
This is a wonderful site for the sheer volume of terms and their modern equivalents and in several languages as well. Miners seemed to have suffered a variety of complaints “Egyptian Chlorosis anyone?”. Just hope never to get Allantiasis (from eating very dodgy sausages!). I just know I’ll return here to dabble!
