Summary/Abstract: The present paper focuses on the use of English words in the field of medicine, adapted or not to the Romanian morphological system. It is widely known and acknowledged that English has got the necessary tools and it is very close to becoming a language studied and spoken by most people worldwide. It is precisely the starting point of our discussion: English – a “spring” of words and phrases for languages in need. Therefore, does the Romanian medical vocabulary need to borrow words from English in order for people to make themselves better and more easily understood or is it only a matter of personal choice?
