Tessier Surgical Word Book, Third Edition which is the newest edition. Methinks your QA person is wrong (and needs to be brought down a peg or two  ). I think some of this QA people get a wee big headed and think they are always right. Doesn't sound like he's/she's bothering to reference it because if she did, she wouldn't be able to find it.
Go get 'em!

You'll see it come up, click on that, and it will direct you to numerous dictionaries in which it is found. Click on one under the medical dictionary. Onelook is a very good place to look up words or parts of words, as you can only request the part you know. Hope this helps.
