The most common medical information we are likely to find is the cause of death on a death certificate. This will note the name of the certifying medical attendant, and the causes of death in order of most significant factor first. In many cases medical terms may have changed over time. For example, phthisis pulmonala and consumption were older names for tuberculosis. A list of medical conditions is available at http://bit.ly/Medicalterms.
