Hi list, I received this from another mailing list & thought it would be of interest & help to others -- I found it very impressive! :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) Here is an excellent site for trying to figure out some of those old medical terms, seen in obituaries and death notices and on death certificates (if you are lucky enough to find one!!). Just key in the name or alpha letter of the diagnosis, (example - apoplexy) and it will tell you all about it!
