Anybody ever heard of a eudog hemodialysis catheter? Doc spelled it but I can't find it. See sentence below.

ChemPort and PermCath--is this right?
Subject: ChemPort and PermCath--is this right?
I cannot get the hang of things like ChemPort and PermaCath or PermCath or the like. My eyesight is going because I've been squinting for 20 minutes trying to find either of these in my black surgical word book with no luck. If anyone knows what these are or a reliable website to find out, please let me know. I guess I should have sprung for the more expensive book with bigger print...

Subject: She has not stopped posting her name
She was on last night answering the one about chemo drugs.
No, you are not the only one seeing this. We seem to be the only ones talking about it.
I have noticed her quite a bit in the last few days and it just amazes me the answers she gives. I do not think she will stop, and I agree, I hope the people she is giving the info too will double check or leave it out and let their QA people handle it.
These are legal documents.
