Finding medical words from a document

I have a document from which I have to find the medical words, for example:



Cristy has failed conservative treatment of his carpal tunnel syndrome and 
wishes to proceed with carpal tunnel release.

John is a good candidate for total shoulder arthroplasty as he has been
suffering from this problem from a very long time.


I have to find from the above sentences:



1. carpal tunnel release.
2. total shoulder arthroplasty


May I know how it could be done? I tried to use Spacy but I am not getting the results.



nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_lg')
doc = nlp(line)
for word in doc:
if (word.pos_ == "ADJ" or word.pos_ == "PROPN" or word.pos_ == "NOUN" )

  • If you want medical terms, you need a resource that knows medical terms. And you'll probably need to figure out how to use it to tag your data. Spacy does it automagically, but it's general-purpose magic. Were you really asked to do this without any pointers to a resource you could apply to the task?
