Gastroenterologo

[william-italy]

Hi,
whats the word for the Italian specialist GASTROENTEROLOGO? I supposed it could be gastroentherologist (and I then found it googling a bit) but it is not in this web-dictionary.
Is it correct?
Thanks,
William

ciao,

It is: gastroenterologist you are correct

 

[william-italy]

Without the "h"? I mean: gastroenterologist and not gastroentherologist? Or they are both correct?

gastroenterologist = 5.660.000 risultati

gastroentherologist = 198 risultati

Fai un po' tu...

There is no H (see Gastroenterology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

In my part of the world your man in the street would probably talk about a Stomach Doctor/Specialist. Gastroenterologist is of course the "official" term.

Well I've always heard it called "gastroenterologist," but then I grew up with doctors in the family.

Actually, I've noticed that many of my US friends use the "proper" names for doctors: over here we tend not to (unless, as you say, you have doctors in the family, you're talking about doctors in a more formal context or you're a health professional) .

Same in AE.

Gastro doc
Remember that guy who did your colonoscopy?

Well in the States we say "ears-nose-and-throat" specialist (otorino) and "chest man" (for a specialist in internal medicine).

Are you trying to provoke a reaction (reply....), sir? Yes? Righty-ho, here we go!

I daresay I'd have to consult a "bum specialist" if one of those ever became necessary! (Amici italiani, sto scherzando!)

A Gastro doc (love it!) sounds like something out of that old cartoon, The Jetsons.

Comunque, William, non mi è chiaro se volevi il termine formale, gastroenterologist, oppure uno degli altri termini che abbiamo proposto qui.

Sì, volevo il termine formale, ma sembra proprio (al di là di quel che dice Wikipedia che non prendo mai in considerazione come prima e unica fonte perché non è una fonte ufficiale) che sia senza la h. And anyway... thanks to everyone!

YEEEEEEEEESSSS...I ALWAYS try to provoke a reaction!

"And now for something completely off topic" regarding BE/AE - I'm on an electronics forum with EE's from around the world,
and I recently was able to use the "Two peoples separated by a common language" on that forum.
It was well-accepted.
