cadaverousness Explanation: Literal translation. It is odd, as one would expect the person to be a cadaver if an autposy is being conducted. |

cadaverositas Explanation: I don't know for sure, but is this not Latin? In which case an English speaking doctor would understand, and use, the same terminology. Google the word with English only as language and you will see an item headed "Treating the Accidental Hypothermic Victim in a Field Hospital" which is written by a Danish doctor in English, so he must assume that his English-speaking colleagues would understand the term. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day11 hrs (2013-06-18 10:43:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Alternatively, google the heading above :) Reference: http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20010417/news/news3.html |
