or a portion of it specifically to induce sterility. It absolutely is not correct to leave vasectomy in a female patient's report. It is wrong! Nowhere in any of my reference books can I find vasectomy referring to anything other than the vas deferens for male sterility, NOWHERE. I don't care how you break up the word, you can not change its meaning as a whole.
The QA person who filled it in is a boob who is simply filling in blanks for the sake of sending a report with no blanks. The report simply should have been sent with the blank and a note drawing the physician's attention to the discrepancy.
