Medical words that make you cringe.

I was just attempting to study and came across a word that makes me cringe. I know it's probably weird. Some words just evoke something in me, not all medical, I can't stand the words curd or moist.

Anyway, I was curious what some of yours were, or if it is only me that cringes at certain ones.

Since starting nursing school, Fistula is one I can't stand. Makes me want to gag just seeing it!

"Slough." Ew. EW.
