The Clinical Etymologist is a podcast devoted to curiosity, lifelong learning, and the quiet joy of medicine. Hosted by Dr. Kim—a general internist and self-appointed Clinical Etymologist—each episode explores the words we use in medicine to diagnose, to heal, and to make sense of the human condition. With a blend of language, history, clinical insight, and his unique sense of humor, Dr. Kim uncovers the hidden roots of medical terms—from the eponyms we invoke to the metaphors we overlook. This is a space for curious souls who still believe learning can be meaningful and fun.

    Mr. Alexander Kole presents with alcohol intoxication. Odd lab value is noted that

    hides more than it reveals. In this episode, Dr. Kim and his Padawan Layla explore

    the clinical mystery of the osmolar gap — when numbers deceive and time

    unmasks the truth.

    Through humor, teaching, and reflection, this case shows how physiology, not

    formulas, saves the day.

    Infectious mononucleosis reminds us that medicine often lives in the space between certainty and curiosity.

    The tests help, but the story — the pattern of fatigue, fever, and swollen nodes — still matters most.

    Every patient teaches us that diagnosis is not a checkbox, but a dialogue between cells, science, and clinical sense.

    And sometimes, the most contagious thing in the room is curiosity itself.

    In this episode, Dr. Kim and his Padawan, Nina, rediscover the forgotten art of the respiratory exam—from tactile fremitus to percussion, from the German for 99 to toy boat.

    Through etymology, history, and bedside humor, they explore how sound and touch connect anatomy, pathophysiology, and the human story behind every breath.
