Subject: Stedman's Medical & Surgical Equipment Words

If you don't have Stedman's Medical & Surgical Equipment Words book you should get it. This book is amazing. Pretty much any piece of medical/surgical equipment is in there. It is worth its weight in gold. If your company doesn't offer discounted books, you can purchase it a Amazon.com either new or used, and they have great used book. I bought my entire collection of Stedman's words book used. All of them are in at least good condition.

Page 194 in Stedman's Radiology book is concha bullosa or pleural form is conchae bullosa....


Also found this out...


Concha Bullosa
A concha bullosa (CB) is a common anatomical variation that occurs when an air pocket forms in the middle turbinate.

On a CT scan, a concha bullosa looks almost like a small balloon with a thin, bony lining. If you develop this condition, you may be symptom-free, or you may have facial pain and pressure and nasal blockage. A concha bullosa is easily corrected with endoscopic sinus surgery.
Hope this helps!!!

Tendinitis:  Because this word is based on the Latin word tendo, with a genitive singular form of tendinis, and a combining form that is therefore tendin, the spelling tendonitis is irregular.

Tessier Surgical Word Book, Third Edition which is the newest edition.  Methinks your QA person is wrong (and needs to be brought down a peg or two ).  I think some of this QA people get a wee big headed and think they are always right.  Doesn't sound like he's/she's bothering to reference it because if she did, she wouldn't be able to find it.


Go get 'em!
