title: [Language use in medicine].
abstract: Language is a main constituent of communication. To understand its signs it is necessary for doctors to use different codes depending on whether they communicate with each other, with their patients, or outsiders. Such codes are every day language, technical language, scientific language and language to the knowledge of different groups of non-specialists.
