Medical Spanish Resources
I am wondering: does anyone know of some good resources for medical Spanish?
An online medical dictionary or database would be ideal. However, it is often not simple vocabulary that I lack (i.e. simple anatomy and systems), but more complex terminology. An example, things like "mitochondrial disease" and "cólico".
Most of the basics are here on the spanishdict website, but I have found that there are many things I cannot find here nor on wordreference.
I would appreciate any help!
Saludos!
(oh, and for clarification, I don't simply need from english to spanish but also spanish to english, AND not just translations but a more medically based database/dictionary, so that when I am searching for things like "cólico" or "colic", I don't come across baby colic in english and "Acceso doloroso, localizado en los intestinos y caracterizado por violentos retortijones, ansiedad, sudores y vómitos" (from RAE) in Spanish.)

I am not medically trained but this site has a lot of free material good for all learners and medical terms - I am not sure if the more detailed terms are only accessible if you sign up. However, the site has a wealth of information. [Medical Spanish1
On the site is a dictionary but it may be a little basic for your needs: enter link description here

I am not sure how to put these links in so if a techie can edit for me that would be great!

Wordreference.com or rae.com
Gracias a los dos!
I have since found a few resources that I like, and thought I should share.
I just came upon this one: http://www.diccionarios.com/diccionariomedico
That will come in handy as a bilingual medical dictionary.
http://www.buenasalud.com/dic/
http://www.dmu.edu/terminologia-medica/bienvenido/
These last two are just good as medical dictionaries.
If anyone comes upon any more resources, please pass them on!
Saludos!
