Had a doc once who used orthopod all the time. Checked Dorland's before I
changed it, and, sure enough, there it was. If they hadn't listed it as a
word I'd have changed it, but since I found out he could verify it, I
didn't.


I know it's in there as slang for orthopedist, but it's really bad slang. I
changed it.

She also doesn't know the difference between diuresis and diaphoresis. She
uses them interchangeably. She also pronounces larynx as "larnix." When
she was trying to express that a patient had stopped drinking 10 years ago,
she dictated that he had not "drinken" in 10 years.

Ok, I better stop before I have to take more BP meds.
