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....

There were only 551 hits on Google for hydroxycodone which means this is not an accurate spelling. Before you even think of trusting Google's info, you need to check the number of hits. If there is not a VERY large number of hits, do not trust the results. When in doubt, check you books. I have all updated drug books, and this is not any. Call a local pharmacy if you still think this could be a very recent drug. The doctor probably made a mistake. It is better to question than to guess and make that mistake. My doctors make up words all the time or just get confused themselves. Let the doctor make the final decision or QA if you have to go that route. I had to learn this the hard way in the beginning.

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!)

books - if I can't find it in my books, I go to the internet, but not before. Sometimes the internet can just give a whole lot of inaccurate info that takes a long time to go through (not that it isn't helpful in a lot of cases - I just don't always trust it).

"chemotherapy." It makes no sense as there are hundreds of medications (where you would hear dosages) that comprise chemotherapy. Would you rather be corrected by people who are not paid to help you, or would you rather your QA catch a blunder like this? Up to you.

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.
