Just found this site when I was looking up a cause of death from a certificate.

The good thing is that it gives you some examples from actual death certs as well as a full explanation of the medical term..... good if you can't quite make out the words.

There once was a doctor on here that had a similar Site,
you could also ask him actual medical symptoms, and he would tell you the medical name for the condition.

The site seems to have been updated and given a new look since I last checked it. I like the images taken from the like of census returns and death certificates.....!
