Back in December and January I wrote about preparing to teach a course on Medical Etymology. I was supposed to teach it this past May, but I had to bow out due to health issues (ironic?). Now I'm hoping to offer it in May 2013, and my preparation resumes! I found a better textbook to teach from (much more user-friendly for both teachers and students), and I'm working through it. This new book does a better job of linking the words to an overall understanding of how the body works (or how we think it works)--which means that in addition to dissecting* lots of wild technical terms, I'm also doing a sweet review of some anatomy and physiology basics.
(*Dissection of words is as close to physical dissection as I want to get!)
