The Concise Dictionary of Modern Medicine
Introduction
Most seasoned writers, present company included, view introductions as necessary
evils. In the past, I poured my heart out and spent months fine-tuning what publishers call, perhaps inelegantly, front material, only to learn that few readers give intros
more than a cursory flick-through…that’s assuming it’s a “real” book…which dictionaries aren’t…really. So the lexicographer with a burning message is advised to
shake the spray can really hard and graffiti the message short, loud and clear before
the uptown A train leaves the Brooklyn yard for morning rush hour.
A student in the health professions soon realises that the standard (read, big) medical
dictionaries are pretty useless affairs. While the 100,000 or so entries corralled by either the Stedman’s or Dorland’s medical dictionaries may sound impressive, they
rarely provide more than a line or two of information—which most reasonably
bright people know already, or can tease out of the word or phrase itself, assuming
they have a rudimentary knowledge of the Greek and/or Latin roots. But the opposite end of the spectrum is equally problematic. The “logo-naut” who drills down on
a term can unintentionally pop out in China saddled with far too much, or even unrelated, information. What’s needed in the marketplace is a medical dictionary written by a doctor that provides Goldilocks with a porridge that’s just right.
I published this collection with McGraw-Hill in 2006 to fill the gap between too little
and too much information. It was gratifyingly well-received as a paper product by
the targeted professional student and junior doctor audience. Its popularity expanded to reach a wider public from allied health professionals including nurses,
physical therapists and medical transcriptionists to generic logophiles. Given that
The Concise contains a cornucopia of useful terms that aren’t in the big medical dictionaries, I view it as a necessary supplement to either the Stedman’s or Dorland’s…
which students may soon find make excellent doorstops or add just enough height
to junior’s booster seat so he can fling mashed potatoes from eye level.
While most of the nearly 23,000 entries are still timely and I have revised it a bit, the
death knell has sounded on paper dictionaries—I’ll let someone else turn out the
lights when that last ship sails out the harbour. This edition straddles the divide between the fading paper and the burgeoning electronic worlds of medical lexicography. In response to this sea change in delivering this genre of information, I am
porting the material from a collection that now has 170,000 entries to a database so
future editions won’t be bogged down by the costs, delays and even legal issues inherent in print media. The next edition of The Concise should be available by 2014; it
will be substantially larger and ideally at or near the same price.
Now the apologies: I’m new to ePub, a format that limits the writer to one typeface.
All of the visual pyrotechnics and fancy fontwork (the up and down arrows, male
and female symbols, even the Greek letters which are almost mission critical) to
which I had grown accustomed in classic layouts (Quark XPress) were sacrificed for
the greater good.
To reduce the number of trees chopped down for the print version I used hundreds
of abbreviations, a device that is no longer necessary; expanding out the short forms
has not been completely straight forward; I ask the reader who stumbles on the occasionally bumpy syntax to be gentle, as I’m addressing this issue at the database level.
A few abbreviations have survived the expansion. It is taken for granted that the average reader using this reference will know such “standard” abbreviations as CSF,
WBCs, RBCs, Hb, Hct and so on. Call it my Eurotrash-in-training snobbery or blame
it on the three semesters I spent studying in Berlin, but EKG stands as electrocardiogram and electrocardiography; let my fellow lexicographers writhe.
Format: It seems appropriate to explain some details as to the layout of the entries
(1) Chlorophyllum molybdites (2) Lepiota morgenii (3) TOXICOLOGY (4) A mushroom that
causes non-fatal poisoning (5) CLINICAL Nausea, cramping, diarrhea for up to 3 days–the active components of C molybdites are GI irritants MANAGEMENT Supportive, as for severe gastritis (6) See Poisonous
mushroom
(1) Entry name, in bold, italicised if it’s an organism, legal case or otherwise necessary
(2) Synonym(s), plain text, much smaller size
(3) Subject area, all caps, large
(4) Definition itself, plain text
(5) Subheadings within the definition that provide information about clinical findings, imaging, prognosis, management, etc, all caps, small
(6) Cross references, plain text, much smaller size
I think that’s about it.
