steatopygic:

From “Why do men have nipples?”

Very random, I know, but I had to try and justify reading that pointless but entertaining book by getting a blog post out of it somehow! I probably could have made a whole lesson out of it if I still had some Medical English lessons, but unfortunately not. However, to make up for pushing out a couple of useful vocabulary items from your heads with that trivia, I will give you a real list of useful Medical and Pharmaceutical English links:

    Dear Allan

    I can’t find a way of doing it I’m afraid. You could try converting it into a normal whiteboard game and then pointing your students to the site for their homework.

    Anyone more technical have any ideas?

    If you’re talking about the interactive health tutorials linked above, they’re already in Flash – in that they require the plug in to work.
    One way would be to try and save the flash file they use, but that’s not always possible. I can’t actually test it at the computer im on now, but i can have a look when I get home.
    Another option could just be to ask the owners of the site, sometimes it does work!
