Today I made a superhero for medical terminology class. We’re supposed to make up twelve medical terms, using real medical term parts, and draw a cartoon character who has all of those conditions.
So I drew up Epiguy who has exacidoptysis (spitting out acid) and anamyomegaly (excessive enlargement of the muscles) and other like conditions. After [...]
