they are both listed side by side, so I think it is the same procedure but just two different ways of writing it out. Either way looks correct.
Does anyone have the Stedman's GI/GU book? (sm)
Subject: Does anyone have the Stedman's GI/GU book? (sm)

Can someone please look up Dobbhoff tube for me and tell me what page it is on and what edition they have of the Stedman's?  That would be Dobbhoff with TWO b's and TWO f's for my purposes, here. I need that particular spelling. 


I would be SO grateful!


(Background - I was on here a while ago asking about this word. Someone was nice enough to answer me with the correct spelling as found in the Stedman's GI/GU.  I used that spelling -- the one above.  QA came after me.  I defended myself by citing Stedman's GI/GU.  QA has asked me for the edition and the page number.  Well, I don't have the durn reference MYSELF, one of you nice people helped me.)  THANKS!

My Stedman's OB-GYN book shows
Subject: My Stedman's OB-GYN book shows

it as OB-GYN on the cover, as part of the name of the book, but when you look it up under O, it shows OB/GYN as the abbreviation for obstetrics and gynecology.

I am in the habit of using a hyphen and I am not sure if I am consistent with all caps or title case, so don't feel too bad for being confused.

Subject: Stedman's ENT book agrees with you.

I looked under cyst.

I see this word both ways so much and have had so many MDs spell it wrong in different situations that my head swims when it comes up in dictation now. So I just look it up in the phrase it's being used in. Then I can use the book to back up the way I did it if anybody argues.
