Buckwalter retractor and Buchwalter retractor (rather than the correct Bookwalter?). There were several others, but I can't recall them now. I gave my book away about 15 years ago, and strictly use Stedman's Med/Surg Equipment words, Stedman's Surgery words, and Vera Pyle's latest. I think what you're seeing is an entry before Hasson was verified. The same thing happened with Steffee/Steffe and Veress/Verress. If there were two spellings for Hasson/Hassan, I would think Vera's book would clarify. Time will tell, though. Ya never know in this business.

Subject: The stocking part would refer to
the lower extremities, so if they are just talking about upper extremities they might just stay glove distribution. Some books show "stocking glove distribution," but I always type it "stocking-glove distribution," because it seems more logical. Otherwise it seems like the word "and" is missing to me. Then again, hyphens are being dropped all over the place, LOL.

Try googling H1c, lots of hits from (apparently) patients. Also, wondered if slurring could make "an A1c" sound like your HUNC ? Also found at least one reference to histoplasmosis marker of H1C.

Madhan's suggestion isn't a chart. If he specifically requests a chart I would type it that way. It doesn't matter what you think looks better. It matters what the doctor thinks looks better.

I wrote this one down -- cross-referencing in both "c" and "s"
Browsing this morning, I read original post and thought I had had "servant" as "cervatte" or something before -- looked up a couple different spellings, and could not find, so figured I must have been wrong and moved on. However, this one would have bugged me enough I would have spent more time searching later...
Glad you posted the correct answer.

I trust Tessier before Stedman's and for 25 yrs
Subject: I trust Tessier before Stedman's and for 25 yrs
Back in the early 80s I loved Stedman's but I found way too many discrepancies, even called them once and they said if we find any other discrepancies to feel free to call them and let them know because WE are the MTs and they need our input.
However, I prefer Claudia Tessier's Surgical Word Book, Vera Pyle's Medical Terminology book, and then the internet where you can find the manufacturer's website and see the CORRECT spelling.
Just my humble opinion....JMHO....
and we all can agree to disagree too....
