Hi all!

During today's round -and out of no where- our professor pointed at me and said: "look up what Sans Clinique means and bring it tomorrow" !!!

I've been looking for it for a while and I'm not sure about any of the meanings I got so far :-S any ideas?

well, it's French. using my very literal translation, it would be "without clinic." what significance that has, i don't know.

I think Clinique is the brand of makeup my wife uses... maybe has something to do with that??

"anomalies paroxystiques à l'EEG sans clinique ne suffit pas à définir l'épilepsie"

Paroxytic (?) EEG abnormalities without clinical (symptoms, presumably) are not sufficient to diagnose epilepsy

April Fools joke?

"anomalies paroxystiques à l'EEG sans clinique ne suffit pas à définir l'épilepsie"

Paroxytic (?) EEG abnormalities without clinical (symptoms, presumably) are not sufficient to diagnose epilepsy

Sounds right, like an isolated abnormal finding without associated clinical correlation.

Thanks guys!!!! I'll tell him that and let u know what happens 😀

It turned out that he though "sans clinique" meant "clinical sense" !!!!!

well, then you had the spelling wrong.

sans vs. sens - completely different words.

NO! HE had the spelling wrong 😀 I asked him to write it down for me!!

Thanks for the help!

I'm going to set a phone reminder 10 years from now to ask med students to look up random foreign words under threat of a bad evaluation.

Sans Clinique means "without clinic" or "anesthesiology".

Sans Clinique means "without clinic" or "anesthesiology".

So does Sens Clinique!
