The medical profession has a problem with pronunciation more than anything. For example "clostridium difficle" is Latin, and should be pronounced closs-trid-ee-um diff-ick-ill-ay. Not closs-trid-ee-um diff-ee-seal. It's Latin. Latin, Latin, Latin. Not French.
They let anyone into medical school these days.
