    All that's really needed is a list of words. If you can supply me with a
    list of words I can probably add them to a standard english dictionary and
    create a new hash.

    AbiWord usually uses ispell but has some support for aspell/pspell. The
    aspell.sourceforge.net website has some instructions on how to create
    dictionaries with specialist lists. (ispell is a lot clumsier.) It may be
    worth your while to post to aspell-user since you are certainly not the
    first person to look for a medical dictionary; there may even be projects
    under way to create such a dictionary :-)

    Good luck,
    Frank
