"WE DON'T CARE" but do you have surgical word books or access to OB GYN terminology book or something? These are very very common words that you should already know if you are an MT.......much less an MT working at home unsupervised.

If you called yourself an MT and sent me back a report with urethral lysis typed in it, you would not have a job tomorrow.
