Same thing in English This is actually one of the meanings of the word "frank" in English: "obvious or clinically evident, such as the unequivocal presence of a condition or a disease. An example is frank bleeding." This is from the online Free Dictionary: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/frank

Also see this KudoZ question posted 5 years ago: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/italian_to_english/medical_general...

Even if nobody posts a formal answer, don't forget to enter this in the glossary when you close the question, for people who may look for this term in the future.

Great, thanks! Do you want points for this? If you post it as an answer I'll give you a couple of points. It's worth my peace of mind. :)
