@Fritz It should really by Libo. I hate when they used outdated Chinese romanizations like Mao Tse-tung instead of Mao Zedong
@Jessica Bloom As a doctor in a field who does ablations, I came here to post this but you beat me to it lol. I originally had resect. Excise would also be accurate
As a doctor, I believe the clue for 19A is factually incorrect. Rounds are when your team make a series of visits to patients in the hospital and work out their treatment plans. The plan may include ‘professional calls’ for consults, but that’s AFTER rounds. Please feel free to correct me if I misinterpreted something.
@Grumpy I think the issue is not that it exists, but in this era is completely antiquated that people just don’t use it as a noun and are rarely ever exposed to it as such. Having to quote Mark Twain doesn’t help much in that regard. For these, usually the puzzle has to give a hint that it’s an archaic meaning, something like “rowdy, quaintly”
