Docs mispronounce words all the time. 99% of my docs say Perm-a-Cath, but it is PermCath. Docs spell things and spell them wrong all the time. One of our jobs as MTs is to know enough to know doc is saying/spelling something incorrectly and correct it.

No, I do not have any reference books with the word "supertherapeutic" listed. (sm)
Subject: No, I do not have any reference books with the word "supertherapeutic" listed. (sm)
Stedman's electronic dictionary gives the definition of the prefix "super" as: In excess, above...
Webster's dictionary gives the definition of the prefix "super" as: over and above; higher in quantity.
Pharmaceutical documents use the term "supertherapeutic" doses.

this med does not ring a bell for me but if you haven't already, you might want to try drugs.com or rxlist.com. Both are very good sites. Drugs.com has a medical transcriptionist wild card search available.

Please don't just quote ref. books
Please don't just quote reference books; I have my own, thank you, and they are all just as conflicted as yours. Stedman's, Tessier, Sloane, Google, etc., all list Moschowitz, Moschcowitz, Moskowitz and Moscowitz in roughly equal proportions. None gives an actual first name or cites the pioneering publication. Please, does anyone actually know who this procedure is named after? Is it hernia repair pioneer Alexis Moschcowitz of Mt. Sinai? Full doctor name and facility or publication title, please!!!!!

I don't trust word books any more.
Subject: I don't trust word books any more.
Like you, I have been running into this situation more and more lately. The Internet may not solve much, but it sure points out how unreliable all those word books are that we've been trusting all these years.
It's gotten so I don't trust any eponym reference unless it gives me first & last name with bio (hey, why not shoe size and zodiac sign while we're at it!)
