Lessons in Anatomy

A man with a history of prostate cancer was "status post bilateral oophorectomy" ... oops ... got the "o" and the "ectomy" right, but a little problem with what's in between.

Another patient's abdomen was reportedly within normal limits "without liver, kidney or masses" ... wouldn't a normal abdomen have kidneys and a liver?

And finally, a young woman was sometimes experiencing "high-pitched ringing in her nose" ... wonder if it was pierced.
