What the what??

3 Sella turkey-ka. I just heard a NURSING INSTRUCTOR (in our program but not my teacher) say sella turkey-ka in a lecture podcast. TWICE.

Is it too much to ask that people read through their notes and, you know, look stuff up if they don't know how to say it? Hypo-fisis? Nope.

I don't expect my teachers to be perfect; god know's I'm not, but for pete's sake, could you at least know how to say the things you're supposed to be teaching us?
haha funny but also a little sad...wow

Sorry, I can't get it, what word was she trying to say?

Ok, I'm stumped. What is sella-turkey-ka supposed to mean?

sella turcica?

She was talking about transsphenoidal approaches to deal with pituitary tumors.

sella turcica, TURSICA and hy pof isis not hyp fy sis lol

You say anGIna, I say ANgina.

Precepted a new nurse who told me the patient was ed-a-ma-toes.Couldn't help laughing out loud when I figure out it was edematous.

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

I had a nursing instructor that told you when you needed to be pacific..(specific) It was soooo hard not to bust out laughing and even when corrected she though it was Ok....

Quote from SuesquatchRNYou say anGIna, I say ANgina.

I went to medical assisting school before I was a R.N.The instructor there pronounced dyspnea and tachypnea "dis-peenia and tacky-peenia"I shudder to think of how many MAs went out into the world pronouncing it that way. I was too shy to correct her but on my last day of class I left a note on her desk correcting the pronounciation. can't remember if I signed it or not.And don't get me started on my BIO teacher who talked about ecosystems and "all the polar bears and penguins living at the north pole."
