Why is proper spelling of medical terminology in health related professions important?

Correct spelling of medical terminology is important for many reasons if you were to misspell you could end up prescribing someone the wrong type of medication or say that something is wrong when it's not. for your example, you can use two medication abbreviations (since everything is basically abbreviated in the medical field) that are similar. the side effects from one could hurt someone.

This is true! hope this : ))
