Talk:Tuohy needle

Does anyone know how to pronounce "Tuohy"?

This is what I found:

Tuohy, Lynne (TOO-ē) 141.67.75.182 (talk) 14:55, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Agree. "Two-ee". Preacherdoc (talk) 19:16, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Proposal to split

Although Epidural needle redirects here, it seems that from contents of "The Evolution of Spinal and Epidural Needles : From the Origins to the Current". Cothon.Net. a full article can be formed on Epidural needle. Tuohy needle is only one type of Epidural needle. The original source can be Frölich, MA (2001 Jul). "Pioneers in epidural needle design". Anesthesia and analgesia. 93 (1): 215–20.

I don't think the material available justifies a split as such. I would think renaming this article to epidural needle and expanding the section describing the various types of needle would be a better idea at this time. Op47 (talk) 23:40, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
