cervical spinal stenosis.
spinal stenosis
Subject: spinal stenosis

Spinal stenosis is ONLY of the spine and is not found in other parts of the body. I do ortho and the previous poster is incorrect. That's why it's called 'spinal' meaning of the spine. Stenosis can occur in other parts, but spinal stenosis is only of the spine.

Subject: s/l soso spinal stenosis

70-year-old woman has a "soso" spinal stenosis surgery in her past medical history.

Subject: CORRECTING QA

Try giving the lousy QA person the "chapter and verse" in Dorland's or some other equally credible reference work. I used to do that whenever an MD questioned work. Shut 'em right up. Just cite the page, edition, etc. Maybe they will learn something from you.

This is not direct specifically at you. I wish everyone would quit being so darn picky in these forums. We are all tired and just needing help on the question. We are all typing without spell check in this program which we are all very accustom to relying on. Give us all a break....and yes...I am SURE that I have a typo in here and don't care. This is where we come for support, not correction.
