A Sceptic's Medical Dictioary

An entertaining collection of dictionary definitions, ranging from succinct one-liners to quotations and humorous anecdotes. The definitions are taken from a variety of medical and lay periodicals, newspapers and magazines, and cover a broad spectrum of subjects from "acronym" to "zero option", demolishing popular myths, and providing cynical interpretations of jargon and verbiage.
