To the Editor:??? In looking over current medical literature one is impressed with the free use of abbreviations such as E. K. G., W. B. C., B. M. R. and P. S. P. One is also impressed with the careless use of English in the form of such expressions as acute abdomen, acute ears" and no pathology found.As a matter of fact, pathology is a science, not a disease state of an organ.
