Brenda,
if they they spoke in plain English we could all be doctors (or lawyers). They have both created their own languages. They go to school for many years to learn this language (among many other things of course -not to mention illegible cat-scratch that only a pharmacist can read ha ha).

I live with a Tabors Medical Cyclopedic Dictionary next to my desk - and I still feel like a cat chasing my tail sometimes.

This is always the risk of getting the raw reports. Radiologists are duty bound to report EVERY anomoly even, in some cases, knowing that they are a normal part of the healing process.

If you get full medical reports you have to take some of this in your stride (or get some good anti-anxiety meds).
