Words used to describe disease

[D_o_S]

Hi,

I'm going to be doing some translation work and I'm looking for common English words patients might use to describe disease... like swelling, itching, shortness of breath, sharp pain, etc.

I found this for example:
http://www.macmillandictionary.com/t...cal-conditions

I'm looking for more, similar stuff... anybody got any tips?

Prolly doctors/nurses etc would know. I'm not really looking for "guidebooks" that explain how to create medical terms (prefix, suffix, etc), just a list of words and definitions.

Many thanks

whats wrong with a medical dictionary?

If you don't know what the medical terminology is you wont be able to translate it.

EGD
ERCP
Cardiac Cath
Intubation

you should just read up about it in a medical dictionary and use basic concepts to translate/explain them
