It certainly helps to learn even a few latin root words.

Medical talk is interesting....if you are to take a pill 3 times a day, the doctor writes tid...twice a day is bid. Once a day is qd...based I think on Latin...b stands for bi or 2. tid stands for tri or 3 times a day...most medical terms are of Latin base...anything the ends in itis, means inflamation, ex: appendicitis is inflamed appendix. Learn just a few base words and you can read doctors orders and the official name of any disease...(as I said, I think its Latin based)
