Re: Bookwalter versus Buchwalter

[Guest guest]

Ok folks, since I couldn't find anything on MTDesk (which totally amazed me),

I did a Google search, hoping to find an actual manufacturer's site, and lo

and behold, I found two. Bookwalter is a brand name. Here are the addresses

and it even shows pictures:

http://www.allegiance.net/literate/urr/urr.htm

and

http://www.adeptmed.com/retractor.html

I'm guessing that perhaps there was a " Buchwalter " retractor and the company

went out of business, or maybe it was like that whole Verres/Veress fiasco,

and it was finally decided that Veress was correct. <shrugging> Who knows?

If you do a search on Google for Buchwalter retractor, you only get a few

hits, but a search for Bookwalter retractor yields many hits. Very very

interesting.

Thank you for researching this, Jan! I need to ask CS how they want us to

spell it if it's on the final. I'll make a note in my word list that

Bookwalter is probably the correct name or at least it can be spelled two

ways.

Jan, Thanks for all the research. I'm glad to finally have that mystery cleared

up. I will think of you everytime I type Bookwalter from now on. Hope you have

a great night, Margaret
