I will not use it either. I do not think it is professional looking and if I was still going through training, it would not be acceptable to the school either. but my Stedman's spellcheck will not accept it, either.

Subject: not to be rude but Stedman's has been....sm

Not to be rude - it IS coffee grounds that one can vomit and when used as a noun, but when it's used as an adjective, it is coffee-ground emesis....I suppose it could be an either-or so I'm not giving anyone an argument. Just have seen Stedman's be wrong on many occasions and I don't use Stedmans as a result.

To each his/her own....

additional info:

coffee-ground emesis is old blood in the vomitus, coffee-ground vomitus.

Stedman's Orthopaedic & Rehab Words, third edition, it is LeFort WITHOUT a space. Also, Claudia Tessier's "The Surgical Word Book", second edition, has it WITHOUT a space. And finally, Vera Pyle's "Current Medical Terminology" eighth edition has it WITHOUT a space.

Which Stedman's has it WITH a space? I'm interested, not arguing. Perhaps either way is correct/acceptable.

I know there is med by the same name, but I do believe this is for Pap smears because they also have "Cytobrush" for endocervical cell sampling.

Try googling orthopedic forage procedure and see if you have a match. Next time, don't give a snip though. The whole sentence is more helpful.

Can someone please look up Dobbhoff tube for me and tell me what page it is on and what edition they have of the Stedman's? That would be Dobbhoff with TWO b's and TWO f's for my purposes, here. I need that particular spelling.

I would be SO grateful!

(Background - I was on here a while ago asking about this word. Someone was nice enough to answer me with the correct spelling as found in the Stedman's GI/GU. I used that spelling -- the one above. QA came after me. I defended myself by citing Stedman's GI/GU. QA has asked me for the edition and the page number. Well, I don't have the durn reference MYSELF, one of you nice people helped me.) THANKS!

Stedman's Cardiology and net came up with:
Subject: Stedman's Cardiology and net came up with:

I looked under Cox and poor renal function and both came up with:

Cox organism
Cox proportional hazards model
Cox stepwise regression model

Again, all these terms are direct out of Stedman's Cardiology and they cross reference via Google when you add in poor renal function, so it seems they are indeed related. I know squatola about cardiology though, it's one of my poorer backgrounds. Sorry you are having a rough go of it, but welcome back to transcription!
