Any ideas?  I sold my Stedman's Surgery Words book years ago and don't have a new one.  Now I'm on a new account and I keep getting stumped.  Time to buy a new book, of course...  Until then, thanks for your help!

Is there a preferred way to type all the sutures?  Like would you type #0 PDS or just 0 PDS and then what about 4-0 Dexon, would it be #4-0?


Thanks


prolene
Subject: prolene

I work for a hospital so all docs are different. One always says "number four O", etc. Some just say "four O" I have always went with the 4-0 without the # sign before it. Others use the # sign so I was wondering if I was wrong or if it was just a preference. Thanks

If 0 prolene is at beginning of sentence, would 0 be spelled out to avoid starting sentence with a number?

Hi all,


I can't seem to figure out what he's saying in between running and 3-0.  It sounds like kinell or canelle, but I can't seem to find anything.


Thanks for any help!
