I got an invitation to attend a continuing medical education (CME) program. The letter said it was organized by All India Coordinating Committee of RCOG West
Zone in association with a local obstetric and gynecological society. RCOG was short for Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. I went through the program. There was a list of topics, the meaning of the topics in brackets (parenthesis) and the speakers. The list of topics in the anatomy section and their meanings was as follows.
If not for acquiring knowledge, someone may be tempted to attend the CME just to find out why they named the topics so. I am not going to attend, so I will never know.
