Medical Translation Glossary - Diseases

I was reviewing some disease translations this morning and later got a comment from a reader requesting a medical translation glossary. I think I actually saw a Nepalese Medical Dictionary somewhere, sometime, but I've forgotten when and where. It was expensive and I'm not sure if it was really good and reliable. In stead, on request, I'm gonna make my own 'dictionary' here, or at least a glossary / list of useful medical words and phrases in Nepalese. Won't be anywhere near complete, and a work in progress, but hopefully usefull for other Nepalese interpreters and translators out there. It's an important field to devote some time to. And do feel free to add your own Nepali medical terms + translations in the comments below! Anyone filling in my blanks would be great!
