"digital rectal examination in knee-chest position" Explanation: The word "touch" even though it is the litteral translation of the French, is not used in this instance. "toucher (noun) = digital examination (of rectum, vagina e.g.) " http://members.tripod.co.uk/AlisonGaunt/medT.htm You'll find other examples of its use on the Net. "Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) is an integral part of the routine physical examination." http://www.cybercable.tm.fr/~biblioa/aga98_abstract29.html "Résultats des biopsies de 100 prostates normales au toucher rectal Systematic prostatic biopsies in 100 men with no suspicion of cancer on digital rectal examination" http://www.urolink.fr/club/URO_CANCER/URO_histolog.htm |
