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.

Great site for anything medical, abbrevs, Rx, etc.
Subject: Great site for anything medical, abbrevs, Rx, etc.
I think I use the following site more than anything else. It's a great all-around site for all things medical, but the abbreviation look-up is awesome! You can also look up abbrevs by definition. It also has a medical dictionary, ICD9 code search, Rx look-up, US Rx drug spelling, skin conditions, hospitals worldwide, medical associations, and more!

Docs mispronounce words all the time. 99% of my docs say Perm-a-Cath, but it is PermCath. Docs spell things and spell them wrong all the time. One of our jobs as MTs is to know enough to know doc is saying/spelling something incorrectly and correct it.

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"?
