Medical Terminology

1. Read the story first.

2. Bold Face Terms:
Make a separate list of all the definitions of the bold face terms in the story first from your reference sources like a medical dictionary or website etc.
Start by listing all the bold face medical terms and their definitions and cite your sources of reference. Example: appendectomy: the surgical excision of the organ known as the appendix which is a vestigial organ (Webster, 2010)
Then list all your full references at the bottom of your work.
Submit this list as part of your work.

3. Translate definitions into simple terms and insert them into the story:
Next, translate all of the bold faced medical terms into simple language as if you are explaining it to a patient or to someone who may not understand medical terminology and incorporate these simple translations into your story.
This means you should remove the actual medical terms in bold face print but leave the meaning in place with your translated explanations of these terms.
Your finished work should be easily understood. It is OK to alter the sentence structure to accomodate your translations.

Remember to use simple basic language to explain these complicated medical terms to another person.
Highlight your new translation either by bold facing or capitalizing the words.
Do not just insert the definitions. You will not get credit for this and points will be taken off.
The goal here is for you to learn how make the complicated sound simple.

Example:
Initial sentence with medical term in place: The patient is having an appendectomy.
Translation into simple terms in your story: The patient is have his appendix cut out and removed.

In other words, rewrite the story completely in layman’s terms or plain English so that someone without a medical or science background would be able to understand.
Your translation must be clear and easy to understand.
Take into account the context of how the terms were used.
You must use all the bold faced terms “translated meanings” in your story.

So when you are complete you will have a list of terms plus definitions (with sources cited) plus a rewritten story in plain English.
