Abstract

Croatian physicians write the diagnoses in Latin. Recently, writing diagnoses in Croatian has been ever more frequently suggested. An intermediate solution would imply Croatinization of Latin terms, similar to the practice in other European countries. Facing the dilemma due to the intrusion of Anglo-Saxon terminology, it appears preferable to Croatinize Latin terminology over Anglicizing Croatian terminology.
