Conversion of Chinese and English Hospital Terms
���^��ǥλy��Ӫ�

The difference in Chinese and English hospital terms can sometimes be very frustrating for even those who studied English for their life.  This page lists out the conversions of some of the common medical and health related terms, and hopefully helps people find the correct wording for things they know in their own language, so that there will be a better communication between doctors and patients.
