Lol as a medical person myself, reading all the comments her is so hilarious and refreshing. Gives me different perspective.

Blindsight and Echopraxia.

My words are taken so imma do a phrase

“FECAL VOMITING”

Like many others, could be a band name. Grindcore, probably. I imagine one of the worst experiences to go though. Vomiting is already terrible… butt now there’s shit.

Eptifabatide. My favorite drug name and people have a hard time with that p to t transition apparently, but it rolls off the tongue for me. Abciximab is another good one, but I’m pretty sure someone just wanted a name to start with ABC.

Mine is Omentum.

I went to med school for a grand total of one semester before I realized it wasn’t for me. But during that semester I went through Gross Anatomy in which you dissect a cadaver bit by bit over the course of (IIRC) 8 weeks. Anyway in the abdominal cavity lies the greater omentum, a yellow net-like contraption that basically spans the stomach & intestines. It’s super cool looking, probably my favorite structure I encountered in gross anatomy.

My least favorite thing about gross anatomy - other than that one really stinky cadaver - was Netter. Oh my god I felt like that text became an extension of my body, I was never not buried in it, along with so many lists of mnemonics. I still remember the mnemonic Roman Togas Don’t Cover Balls to name the parts of the brachial plexus (Roots, Trunks, Divisions, Cords, and Branches).

Sacroiliac and coccyx.

Toxic megacolon. Sounds like a metal band.

Sphygmomanometer

Infarction

Priapism. Gotta check for it in trauma patients.

Echolalia

Or vagina. I really like vagina, and the word vagina.

But echolalia is more fun to say. It’s like tintinnabulation or brobdingnagian in that regard, despite being shorter. But the sound of the word works so neatly with the meaning of the word.

Amyloidosis

Synesthesia. That or prosopagnosia.

Any of the big compound medical words are fun to say and construct IMO. Adrenocorticotropic, deoxyribonucleic, those kinda words. They seem big and scary but they’re quite descriptive and once you know the “formula” behind them it’s not too bad. Maybe not the most fun words but I feel good every time I can use one and deploy it like it’s no big deal (ie my mouth doesn’t fuck it up). It’s like executing a big combo with your mouth.
