American Common Medical Terms ?
My wife is a Medical Doctor from Mexico and understands all the Latin-based medical terms and body parts.. but she gets tripped-up with our Americanized names like: tummy, knee cap, jawbone, shoulder blade, pinky, breast bone, wiener, chicken pox... Once I point to the part, she immediately knows the real medical term.
Where can I find a website for this glossary? She needs to get up to speed.

Thx.. the problem is she doesn't know what she doesn't know until it pops up on conversation. (Like ringworm... not a ring nor a worm.) Most medical resources (as well as Urban Dictionary) are good at finding the answer.. once you know the slang. UD has too many slang, techie, drug/sex/rave related definitions to just peruse through it... like a dictionary. I'll keep hoping.. thx.

Most of these are not going to be in any medical dictionary that I'm aware of. Try a a slang dictionary. Urban Dictionary on line is one.
