It's definitely in the PE - he's in the HEENT section - refers to the eyes. Thanks for the thought though.
The stocking part would refer to
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.

Subject: apparently patients sometimes refer to it as H1c. sm
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.

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.
