Subject: Re: Medical Superlatives
We use following superlatives in describing occurrence of various medical
conditions, processes etc etc,
I will appreciate if members will be able to define these terms that we use
on daily basis and will appreciate if you would be able to give a percentage
point (0-100%) for these terms.
What does these term mean in day to day practice?
(eg: This symptoms is not a common occurrence in such a such disease)
Various superlatives are:
Commonly
Uncommonly
Not commonly
Not uncommonly
Rarely
Frequently
Not frequently
Infrequently
Not infrequently
If you know of a similar superlative that is used often, add to the list.
