 :-[ worse than that, Frank.  Youngest daughter is a medical transcriptionist and this word was needed for one of the reports she is typing.  She called me cause she couldn't get any spelling she used to "take".  First thing I thought of was the forum.  Thanks for coming to her aid.  I have called her, but in the meantime she was able to get close enough for her dictionary to pick up on the word she was needing.  Kinda makes me wonder just what this doctor has planned for his patient. ::) ::) ::)

Sounds more like what an ex-wife would be writing about to her ex-husband.

It's also a specific type or style of amputation.

QuoteAn instrument in the shape of a metal ring through which runs a sliding knifeblade, used in excising a tonsil.

At the time of its invention, the Guillotine was considered a humane form of execution, compared with the torture commonly done.
