Toxic megacolon. Sounds like a metal band.

Sphygmomanometer

Mine is Omentum.

I went to med school for a grand total of one semester before I realized it wasn't for me. But during that semester I went through Gross Anatomy in which you dissect a cadaver bit by bit over the course of (IIRC) 8 weeks. Anyway in the abdominal cavity lies the greater omentum, a yellow net-like contraption that basically spans the stomach & intestines. It's super cool looking, probably my favorite structure I encountered in gross anatomy.

My least favorite thing about gross anatomy - other than that one really stinky cadaver - was Netter. Oh my god I felt like that text became an extension of my body, I was never not buried in it, along with so many lists of mnemonics. I still remember the mnemonic Roman Togas Don't Cover Balls to name the parts of the brachial plexus (Roots, Trunks, Divisions, Cords, and Branches).

My words are taken so imma do a phrase

“FECAL VOMITING”

Like many others, could be a band name. Grindcore, probably. I imagine one of the worst experiences to go though. Vomiting is already terrible… butt now there’s shit.

Synesthesia. That or prosopagnosia.

Hypopotomonstrososqepideliophobia. The phobia of long words

"Endocannabinoid system". It makes us sound like we just evolved a system specifically for processing THC.

Infarction

Priapism. Gotta check for it in trauma patients.

Fistula.

Sounds sexual, but very much isn't.

Free. As in free healthcare.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis - a rare disease that a friend has.

Any of the big compound medical words are fun to say and construct IMO. Adrenocorticotropic, deoxyribonucleic, those kinda words. They seem big and scary but they’re quite descriptive and once you know the “formula” behind them it’s not too bad. Maybe not the most fun words but I feel good every time I can use one and deploy it like it’s no big deal (ie my mouth doesn’t fuck it up). It’s like executing a big combo with your mouth.

Pericardium.

Amenorrhea and hyponatremia. I do also like orchidectomy, but I am less comfortable repeating it over and over than the others - it feels like it’ll be taken as a threat

Spastic colon

Idk if it's medical or more psychological but the term for when your hear a word so many times it loses meaning is one of my favorite phrases in the English language.

Semantic satiation

Meninges

Eptifabatide. My favorite drug name and people have a hard time with that p to t transition apparently, but it rolls off the tongue for me. Abciximab is another good one, but I'm pretty sure someone just wanted a name to start with ABC.

Echolalia

Or vagina. I really like vagina, and the word vagina.

But echolalia is more fun to say. It's like tintinnabulation or brobdingnagian in that regard, despite being shorter. But the sound of the word works so neatly with the meaning of the word.

purulent leakage, also known as pussy leakage (i.e., leakage involving pus)

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Supposedly a lung infection caused by inhaling very fine volcano dust. Technically invented by a group of word puzzle fans, but it's appeared in dictionaries.

This might also be the first time since I learned it (30+ years ago) that it's been even close to relevant in a conversation.

Sacroiliac and coccyx.

I've always thought "hemoglobin," "ankylosing spondylitis," "rectocele," and "postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome" were fun to say. There's definitely more medical words I like, but I've got mad brain fog, so I'm not able to come up with much at the moment. Which is a major bummer!

Lol as a medical person myself, reading all the comments her is so hilarious and refreshing. Gives me different perspective.

Laparoscopic Appendectomy. Or as the doctors like to call it, a Lappy-Appy.

Agalmatophilia

It's the paraphilia of being sexually attracted to statues. Like stone marble statues.

Hypochondria

Amyloidosis

suppuration

metacarpals cuz it sounds like some shit a european philosopher from the 19th century wrote a 2000 page thesis on.

Blindsight and Echopraxia.
