FABER - pcefrau

Posted: Feb 12, 2010

OK- I had seriously thought I had heard everything until we had a doctor specifically say that the FABER test should be typed FAbEr test. We had another doctor state it should be Faber and she dug up 1 publication that had it that way. I have always typed it FABER or FABERE (depending on how the doctor pronounces the word). Anyway- my manager e-mailed both, Dr. "FAbEr" stated that is the way he's seen it in publications and Dr. "Faber" deferred to his judgment so now that is how we need to transcribe it. Has anyone ever heard this before? Thanks!!!!!

I've always typed FABER, but it makes sense that way. nm - nm

Orthopedics doc keeps saying "la faber's maneuver" when he is doing hip exams. I have found FABERE but no la faber. I have asked his nurse to find out what he is talking about and he insists that it is "la faber" and is French. *Is* there a la faber maneuver and I just can't find it? ...
