curet/curette
Subject: curet/curette
If you check Dorland's, you will find that both are acceptable spellings for the instrument.

I then took a 2-mm punch biopsy in order to get a tissue sample culture then completed the process of debriding the small wound with a 3-mm curette or curet? Stedmans has both as same thing?

Dorland's lists curet as the preferred spelling. Interesting, huh? Neither is wrong. Don't sweat the small stuff. 
curet v curette
Subject: curet v curette
If you look up both curet and curette in medical dictionary, curette has a definition of a spoon shaped surgical instrument, etc., but curet is only listed as a variant of curette. I use curette as a noun or verb and stay away from the variant curet, especially on picky accounts. FYI.

It's also about the angle, and I've had 'no doubt' kind of dictators that use them...My presumption was that it was a short-hand way of saying up-biting (or down-biting, as I've used down curette, too).

curette used to remove foreign object from ear canal
Subject: curette used to remove foreign object from ear canal
Doc is an ESL (and a pretty good speaker but the sound quality isn't the best), and he sounds like he says he's using a seeramick (spelled phonetically) to remove a BB from this child's ear. I've searched my ENT and equipment books as well as googled and am having no luck finding this. I thought maybe it was his way of pronouncing ceramic, but I don't even know if there is such a thing as a ceramic curette. He's definitely not saying serrated. Any ideas?

I thought I saw my post come up four times, but now I don't see it at all, so I'll ask one more time. Hopefully this works and I haven't been too annoying!
Okay, so the patient has bilateral otitis externa "and is having a lot of swelling in the [s/l "D man"] and in the nasal mucosa. I injected it with Depo-Medrol and Marcaine and put him on Flonase."
I feel like I should be catching this but I'm stumped! Any ideas?
Confused.
I was transcribing last night on a woman and the doc said quite clearly, twice, that she was post vasectomy. Okay, I figured that maybe this female once was a male. However, by the end of the report I knew that this was not the case. Anyway, I left a QA marker as I figured what the doc said was incorrect and I did not want to be the one to type that information down. I checked on the report today and QA had put in vasectomy, just as I thought he said.
Okay, so my question is: can women get vasectomies?? I thought it was impossible, but after yesterday my confidence is shaken. Women don't have the vas for the ectomy. If I am correct, then why would QA leave something so erroneus in a report? If it were me I would have left it blank.
Please, someone correct me if I am totally wrong.

track (track) (trak) 1. the path along which something moves, or the mark left by its movement. 2. of pus, to follow the path of least resistance through the tissues, e.g., along an intermuscular septum.
tract (tract) (trakt) [L. tractus] 1. a region, principally one of some length. 2. a collection or bundle of nerve fibers having the same origin, function, and termination (tractus [TA]); see also under bundle, fasciculus, and lemniscus. 3. a number of organs, arranged in series, subserving a common function.
This is according to Dorland's online dictionary. I too get confused but I think it should be track.
