I figure even if they made it up, if I can figure out what it means, and this one's obvious, then everyone else can too. Every single medical word is not in stedman's electronic dictionary. but this one's fine.

Both Stedman's and Dorlands defines vasectomy as surgical removal of the vas deferens
Subject: Both Stedman's and Dorlands defines vasectomy as surgical removal of the vas deferens
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.
