Maybe he is trying to say incontinencia and following it with fluvio, which could be translated stream. But I do not see that this is correct Latin use.

 Here is the question - how do you type the word "stat" meaning immediately? Its a latin derivitive like n.p.o. , p.r.n. etc, and those are typed in lower case with periods. So would it be "stat." I have also seen it typed STAT with no period. I can't find it anywhere to back up my choice. Any ideas??? Or where to look?? Sue

I've been dealing with ESL dictators and I can't decide if they're saying in the PE that "pulse is 79, permanent" or pulse 79 per minute" Any idea on which is more common? Thanks.

Hi, Newbie!
Guess they haven't taught you about homonyms yet. Sight, site, and cite are a good example of them. The correct one is site (location).
Also try ophthalmology specialty book, Surgical Word Book, and whatever hospital you're working for does have a list of the instruments used. I used to call Sterile Supply directly (in a former lifetime when we worked in hospitals) and then check their spelling.
Good luck.
