Medical English

I don't know if "Medical English" is the right phrase, but I need some tips about it. If you are a tutor or a teacher English native, please contact me....

Hi, what do you need help with? I'm a native speaker of British English, and I work in a hospital....

Sorry if you tried to contact me today Pasquale - I thought my Skype would ring me on my phone but it didn't ring, so I'm not sure if you were busy or if I was using Skype incorrectly.

Hello Italian Tutor:

 

 I teach  pronunciation for Medical Terms and Human Anatomy.

These would equate to the "medical english" that you are referring to I think.

I think this may be the subject that you are asking about.

 

 How can I help you?

The phrase "medical English" is perfectly correct.

 

The word "medicalese" is also used to mean the jargon of medical professionals; however, "medicalese" can sometimes have a negative connotation, such as when a patient complains, "I wish my doctor would speak in plain English.  Instead, he speaks in medicalese, and I don't understand him."

 

Similarly, lawyers sometimes speak in legalese, and computer experts may speak in computerese.
