I wouldn't be surprised if the term SQL/MED had been spoken in healthcare/medicine circles (I worked in that industry before). That said, it's the first time I've ever seen anyone connect the term/concept specifically to medicine as the driver for the term.
I'm actually someone who has gone deep down the SQL rabbit hole (I worked for a company that built a data federation platform previously), I'd be interested to read more if you can share.
My apologies, I thought the confusion of the acronym simple came from the "MED" part, which as I mentioned, stands for "management of external data".
In that respect we are in complete agreement :)
EDIT: Perhaps you might be referring to something like this paper about data federation in general? https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&doi=caa80deb428540752173ea998f1efc68df85ac98 https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&d...
