I'm starting to think everything we do has a use it or lose it quality. I remember reading how people who haven't spoken in their native language in awhile (for example because of a study abroad) have difficulty speaking their language when they come back. They also end up using simpler vocabulary as well. So it wouldn't surprise me if skills like reading also fall under this. But to be fair the stuff you are probably reading is probably really dense and full of lots of medical terminology so it might not be surprising that you have to reread it.
