This is a great example of how a Medical Phrase Index is handy..sm
Subject: This is a great example of how a Medical Phrase Index is handy..sm
I'm not in any way picking on you, but somebody below asked how to look up words when you're not sure what they are. Since you knew it was some kind of fork, you could have looked up "fork" in the MPI and it lists 7 different medical forks, and you would have been able to deduce 'tuning fork' from this since you had a soundalike. I learned more new words from this reference book than anything else.

Subject: depression index UNG?
Hi everyone,
Is there an index to measure depression called UNG or something that sounds like that? At least that is what I am hearing--- "ung" at various speeds. Would he be saying "own"?
This dr has yawned so many times throughout this report he is making me sleepy too.
