Glossary of Terms
Often, we are asked to explain the medical jargon that we inadvertently use in our podcasts and videos. We have not only embedded these wherever we speak of them, but also added them in this central place. Here, you will find medical terms, names of diseases and laboratory tests.
As we use the terms, we will add them here, therefore please keep this page handy and do visit it often to see if there is anything that has changed. Of course, if you would like to add anything else to this list, please do let us know.
