Both Stedman's and Dorlands defines vasectomy as surgical removal of the vas deferens
Subject: Both Stedman's and Dorlands defines vasectomy as surgical removal of the vas deferens

or a portion of it specifically to induce sterility.  It absolutely is not correct to leave vasectomy in a female patient's report.  It is wrong!  Nowhere in any of my reference books can I find vasectomy referring to anything other than the vas deferens for male sterility, NOWHERE.  I don't care how you break up the word, you can not change its meaning as a whole.


The QA person who filled it in is a boob who is simply filling in blanks for the sake of sending a report with no blanks.  The report simply should have been sent with the blank and a note drawing the physician's attention to the discrepancy.
