My DH got a report from his Dr. for his latest MRI. Some of it may be quite harmless doctor speak, but I would like to have a doctor speak to English dictionary to figure it all out!!! :hmm:
Ask the doctor to tell you in layman’s terms what the results are. You shouldn’t have to go elsewhere to find out. :??
yes got to agree, ask the doc to say it english so you can understand. i have a friend whos a doc and he talks another language at times. usually i jusr ask him to talk english
go back though, they are there to help you to understand and treat

I agree that your Dr should tell you everything in layman’s terms. In the meantime here is a site from National Institutes of Health that I have used quite frequently and successfully for my medical terminology classes, Medical Dictionary
Good luck with the translating!
Basic rule: the less understandable the doctor-speak the more benign the condition.
That’s nice to know! I guess DH is perfectly healthy by the lines and lines of Dr. Gibberish!
:woot:
ITA, if the report was sent to you, it should be in English.
One of my friends is a doctor - her DH and I just say to her “please translate” and she says it in English.
