I have worked for 3 years for 2 ENT docs who no longer perform surgery. They have just added a new doc to the practice and he does perform surgeries. He is describing the tonsils as essentially "kissing" on examination.  Is this correct? Thanks
A lot of the questions you have been
Subject: A lot of the questions you have been
asking are very, very basic. You might be getting in over your head if these terms are unfamiliar to you. Maybe you are just nervous about taking a test and are struggling because of that. I hope that is the case. However, it is my opinion that asking for others for help on a test is cheating. I'm sure you probably didn't think of it this way, otherwise you would not have shared at this point that you are testing. Iknow you are desperate for help, but the company is testing YOU, not us on the word board. You have to stand on your own skills when testing. If you don't pass, then it means you are not ready. Good luck to you.

Sounds like doctor is saying "X-rays show an oblique line" but wouldn't it make more sense to say "opaque line?" or could oblique be correct?
