Soo... 3 years of medicine is actually learning how to use the language well..
another 2 years to apply then to clinical setting..
But if english is not your first language, erm... I came across this today:
'' A large bore canula can be invaluable for fast flow..." err... after reading twice, i tak faham the invaluable means not valuable or super valuable...
Inattention means no attention,
infinite means not finite,
intolerant means cant tolerate,
indian means patient from india,
so invaluable should be not valuable rite,
but.. maciam tak betul.. hence google...
Invaluable means : extremely valuable; having value too great to measure;

grrr.. dono la.. non-medical terms also struggle liao..
another one: if patient is exsanguinating...
Exsanguinating: draining blood... exsanguination is also the way to slaughter for halal-ness...
Wiki: Exsanguination is a relatively uncommon and dramatic cause of death in humans

i had it a lot easier then because i was pretty much a total and complete banana (or as i like to call myself; a chinese illiterate blood traitor :P) with a penchant for reading english novels - so it was a lot easier for me to understand medispeak and med textbooks.
my english speaking friends and i often thought it must be very hard for people who don't use english as their 1st language to study medicine. there are consultants in my college that would give a student a far lower mark in practical exams just because he or she can't speak english fluently.
unfair, yeah but life can be that big a bitch.
see also: inflammable :)
well, the problem is, there is not one language that I am good at.. I can only say language is just not my 'thing'..
