    You can learn it practically if you take a couple of anatomy classes oriented towards a medical career. A good chunk never really get used outside of precision in documentation, if it’s a specialty (everyone says “cheek”, but the dentist says “buccal”), or if the common term is actually too vague to work with (broken arm -> greenstick fracture of the left radius)

    Taking an anatomy class to talk like a plastic surgeons billing notes is just weird.
