1. Medical terminology really hasn't "changed my life" at all.

2. I'm an RN, so I used medical terminology daily at work in charting and communicating with patients, and other care providers such as doctors, pharmacists, physical therapists, etc.

3. I get a little confused with all the abbreviations, especially for the more exotic diseases and conditions. Common ones like HTN, and CHF, don't bother me, but with more obscure conditions, I think they should be written out completely.

4. Probably #3 answers that, don't have any other pointers.

I hope someone else comes along and answers your questions for you better than I did.
