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.

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.
Books are always good. Dorland's is huge and expensive. The Taber's is cheaper and handy. nm
