More intuitive.

EDIT: The tag alias medical_mask -> surgical_mask (forum #139472) has been approved by @Hillside_Moose.

I don't really have a strong preference either way, but I think I agree, since I would like the consistency with medical eyepatch.

I'd always known them to be called surgical masks, but google disagrees by a 10 to 1 ratio. So +1. Either way, there should then be an implication to mask.

Remember to put "" around searches when searching for multi-word terms.

"surgical mask" returns 738k results
"medical mask" returns 418k results

I agree that I've always known them to be surgical masks myself, and I'd prefer the alias to be the other way around if it's going to be created, but that's a preference and I'm not going to push the point.

Reversed the direction since "surgical" is most used in real life.

Can we no longer request an implication in a related thread? Procedure has changed somewhat from what I remember. A new thread got created, anyway.

@kuuderes_shadow: Oh yeah, right.
