[Is the Croatian medical language changing for the worse?]

Some issues regarding Croatian medical terminology are presented in this paper. Controversial examples from modem domestic medical literature and earlier attempts in creating a national medical language are included. The author gives special consideration to the formation of Croatian adjectives from Latin stems, advocating the old way of forming Croatian from Latin adjectives, as well as to the problem of unnecessary and inadequate loans from other languages. The author supports the use of Croatian terms in medicine and sees the solution of these issues in the cooperation of linguists and physicians.
