It is found both ways in several different reference books. In the new Stedman's Abbreviation book it's fabere. The old Stedman's Abbreviation book listed it both ways, FABERE and fabere. It is an acronym, however, and the BOS 2nd edition page 7 says, "Capitalize all letters of most acronyms." It then also goes on to say, "When acronyms become words in their own right, they sometimes evolve into lowercase form." Such as the lower-case acronym laser (light amplification by stimulation emission of radiation). Is it possible that fabere has evolved into a word of its own? I don't think so, because if it was a word of its own it wouldn't be in the abbreviation book! So, I would follow the BOS recommendation and capitalize the letters of an acronym. FABERE

It's true that Dorland's defines that way, but
Subject: It's true that Dorland's defines that way, but
that doesn't mean the surgical excision of a lymph or any blood vessel could not correctly be referred to as a vasectomy. It may not be common, and it may not be the textbook definition, but the term does not have to exclusively apply to the vas deferens. If you were going to refer to the surgical excision of a lymphatic or other general vessel in a single word, what word would you use? Anyway, I'm not arguing whether or not the dictation was accurate, I'm just saying if that is what was truly said and context did not support a more general use of the term, then the real boob is the physician who dictated it, and if that is what he/she said, and it is clear that is what was said, then I would send it through as well and let the physician confront his/her own potential error in proofing the report and correct it then if it truly needs to be corrected. Patient safety is not involved in this case, so if it is an error and the physician does not take the time to do their job and proof read the report and correct it, then the egg is on their face, which is where it belongs anyway.
