This book tells the intriguing and often colorful stories of the medical words we use.

In this book you will learn the answers to questions such as: What disease was named for an American space flight? Do you know the echoic word for elephantine rumbling of the bowels? What drug name was determined by drawing chemists notes out of a hat? What are surfers eye, clam diggers itch, and hide porters disease? This book can give you new insights into the terms we use every day in the clinic, hospital, and laboratory. Knowing a words history assists in understanding not only what it means, but also some of the connotative subtleties of terms used in diagnosis and treatment. The Amazing Language of Medicine is intended for the enrichment of physicians, other health professionals, students, and anyone involved in clinical care and medical science.
