    :cornut: Years ago when ENT's were EENT's it was Ophthalmotorhinolaryngology. The Ophthalmologists(offthal NOT optal) broke away when they found out that they could make bazillions of dollars only doing cataract lens replacement and laser retinoplasty in their office and not have to pull any ER coverage. Life goes on....................:Thumbsup:

    (Joe Clubman- it's Otorhinolaryngology NOT Otolaryngology. You left the nose[rhino] out but you had it correct in the title)
