Hello good people of the list,
Here's a link to a news story today on the CBC web site:
http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2008/04/24/medical-jargon.html
The article itself hold no surprises for us, I'm presuming, but the reader
comments that follow it are an interesting look into lay people's reactions
to this story of confusing medical jargon and the study thereof.
...Alex...
