Medical Spelling Tools for Word Processors

The language of modern medicine is complex, with hundreds of thousands of medical words that are not found in a standard dictionary. Anyone who works in the medical industry can relate to the frustration of spell checking a medical document and having nearly every other word identified as misspelled!

    I could really use this. Being in a medically-related field entails me to write reports and cases using word processors often designed for business purposes. This can be a drag for people who are writing using medical terms not usually known by people. With this application/software, writing medically-related composition is made easier.
