Latin, latin, latin, latin, latin, latin...

...ahhhrgh!! I hate latin at the moment. Scatula specierum urologicarum - box of urologic teas. Vulnus lacerum - torn wound, vulnera lacera - torn wounds. In venam cavam - into the hollow vein. Ramus cruris sinistri - branch of left lower leg. Multigravida - woman pregnant more times. Spasmus musculi linguae - spasm of muscles of tongue. And this is just the very start of my list.

Is it really necessary to know all these phrases as a doctor? I mean, you'll probably never use them when you talk to patients.

I guess it's good though to have a mutual language between doctors all over the world. But "multigravida"? :D

"I think we have a multigravida case here..."

Hehe.. yes, what about "macrorhinia acuta" (acute big nose) and "microtia complicata" (complicated small ears)?
