In 1997, Major Fred Trask sent me an email with medical definitions, which he attributed to Wes Johnson. Someone at the University of Texas posted it as "Aggie Medical Definitions" (love those college football rivalries!), with a few definitions added to the list I have. Others have posted it as a "glossary of blonde medicine," "Ole's Norwegian Medical Dictionary," etc. You get the idea.
