With nystagmus, the eyeball might "jump." It beats from side to side, or middle to side, etc.

Doubt antistigmatic--not a word. Astigmatism is something entirely different. There is no reference in Stedman's ophth for antistigmatic, but do believe they mean nystagmus for "eyes jump." Can you leave a blank? The author apparently doesn't know the correct word to use. Maybe the context of the sentence will help you.

Subject: The stocking part would refer to
the lower extremities, so if they are just talking about upper extremities they might just stay glove distribution. Some books show "stocking glove distribution," but I always type it "stocking-glove distribution," because it seems more logical. Otherwise it seems like the word "and" is missing to me. Then again, hyphens are being dropped all over the place, LOL.

Subject: apparently patients sometimes refer to it as H1c. sm
Try googling H1c, lots of hits from (apparently) patients. Also, wondered if slurring could make "an A1c" sound like your HUNC ? Also found at least one reference to histoplasmosis marker of H1C.

Buckwalter retractor and Buchwalter retractor (rather than the correct Bookwalter?). There were several others, but I can't recall them now. I gave my book away about 15 years ago, and strictly use Stedman's Med/Surg Equipment words, Stedman's Surgery words, and Vera Pyle's latest. I think what you're seeing is an entry before Hasson was verified. The same thing happened with Steffee/Steffe and Veress/Verress. If there were two spellings for Hasson/Hassan, I would think Vera's book would clarify. Time will tell, though. Ya never know in this business.

....as one of the "stupid" QA people, let me tell you that if you have reference material from which you are quoting, you do not have to worry about being wrong. Stedman's Medical & Surgical Equipment book has Endocatch, and that's what I use. Any company who would make up their own version, I wouldn't work for.

Surgery reference material
Subject: Surgery reference material
Let me start by saying, THANKS! I love this sight. You guys help me so much. I am an MT in training, and little over half-way through my course. I have really been struggling with operative reports. Between the garggling and mumbling of the doctor's dicactation and all the new surgical instruments and drug references, I have at least 50 terms throughout a 5 minute document that I have researched for the past 5 days, spending more hours than I can count, trying to figure out these terms. What I want to know is, does anyone know of a good website, or anything that lists surgical instruments and/or drugs, such as anesthesias, by branch of medicine? (I am on ophthalmology surgeries right now, ack!). I am learning a lot through this process. I just seem to be stuck right now. Thanks!
