What the what??

Sella turkey-ka sounds like a delicious italian dish.

nurse told me the kid with an earache had otis meatus. Really? And just how do you assess THAT meatus?

Don't know any kids with that problem- seem to be a few politicians suffering from it though...

HAHAAH funny stuff :)

I have more than one instructor that says, "DIL-IH-TATE" instead of dilate.

Had one instructor who pronounced Prilosec as Prill-o-sec, antibiotic as anti-bee-otic.

Speaker of the Kings' English, pu-hops? Caint unnerstan summa them Ur-o-peens.

Perpetual statement of "vay-so dill-uh-tay-shun" in cardiac lectures that then segued into medications like "vay-so dill-uh-tate-ers." I couldn't stop giggling because my mind found the gutter and could only think of sildenafil.

And I still cringe when I hear nurses say "um-buh-like-us" and "sahn-ta-meet-er."

Easier to just say "turkish saddle" I suppose......which is what it means.

Try living in 5 different states and a foreign country during the course of your career. Every place has their quirky pronounciations, and slang words as well.

When I lived overseas, the 'p' was pronounced in words like pneumonia. After all we do say it in apnea, don't we? P-neumothorax was hard for me to get used to saying, but it was expected there!

And English has too many choices sometimes -- why is a 'c' sometimes an 's' and sometimes a 'k'. I think we should just drop the 'c' from our language !!!!

Our language is very strange!!!

Oh I just hate LAP-er-o SCOPE-ey. Really? SERIOUSLY?

And since when did the pharynx become a FARE-nix?

I could go on...

First semester nursing school...explaining my rationales for each med I was giving that day.....couldnt understand why the instructor giggled at me each time I said ass-a-teem-an-if-en (aceteminophen LOL)

My instructor says PIT-acin instead of pitocin. Drives me nuts!
