Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on some exemplary cases of terms borrowed from medical English into Romanian. Being used with the original English spelling and pronunciation, these loanwords are not adapted to standard Romanian. That is why this article tries to find appropriate Romanian equivalents for the terms in question, adapted to our language. The study also provides textual contexts in which these loanwords appear in Romanian medical language
