That was 30 years ago. Now they prefer Arabic numerals. I was rather disappointed; it was one of the few times you could trot out Roman numerals!

Just started OB/GYN myself. If you don't have this:
Get the book "Stedman's OB/GYN Words." I got mine at Barnes & Noble "used and out of print" for $9.00 and it's the newest one out. Perfect condition when I got it. It's getting a bit "dogeared" already. I use it constantly when doing OB/GYN, as I've never done it before.

as *nn* as I believe I was the first to comment on this kathie's suggestion for caudal vater syndrome as having nothing to do with the low back. Anyway, then she made the comment about all diabetics having high blood pressure, and it raised the hair on the back of my neck. When I read LOL-sm post, I literally busted up laughing! I thought it was so funny and so FITTING. it put an end to the thread and made every one laugh...good ending to something that was getting ugly and sort of put the QA back a step or two, as well! It was great! Still laughing!

So how does a hair tourniquet get started?
Subject: So how does a hair tourniquet get started?
You can kind of see how a hair would be so fine, and babies have that sweet baby plumpness so that it would be hard to see the hair until the baby had redness and irritation, but does the hair just sort of get worked into the area from a sock or something that was in the dryer and had a hair already on it? Who knew there were so many things to worry about??
