CHeck out the Ask Me 3 website. Just Google Ask Me 3 and you'll be directed there. On their Professionals page, there is a list called "Word to Watch" which lists words and their more friendly substitutes. It's a good resource for anyone in the health field.

Does anyone have a list of problematic words and possible substitutes (i.e. screening is better understood as test)?
 
Thanks!
