Causes of Death

[dogaholic]

Ages ago I found a really good website which translated into layman's terms most of the causes of death that might be found on old death certificates. Then my computer crashed and I lost all my Favourites!

I would really like to find the site again but have searched and searched with no luck.

Can anyone help??

Was it this one?

This one seems pretty comprehensive and gives source references which makes a refreshing change:

'Rudy's List of Archaic Medical Terms':

P.S. typed too slowly!

There was a similar, and possibly more comprehensive, site by one Dr Paul Smith. It's gone away, but most of it is available on the Wayback Machine at:

http://web.archive.org/web/200106031...dicalTerms.htm

If any of the selection letters in its LH panel doesn't work, the page can actually be retrived from the Wayback Machine at URLs such as:

http://web.archive.org/web/200412100...s.org.uk/m.htm

which gets the page for diseases beginning with M. Change m.htm at the end to the letter of your choice.

I didn't go through all the archived pages to find his latest versions.
