Improvisational Medication Names


True story. I didn't see the word "nebulizer" until years later. Asthmatics and medical professionals alike just presumed I already knew the word, until I spoke up one day and said,  "oh, that's the proper name for this thing."  My improvised nickname got a lot of approving chuckles, though.
