  -> Thank you, I wasn't at all sure!
neutral  Joseph Tein: I"M still not sure. From the very meager context, it looks like the name of a hospital unit or department. I can't see why they would be talking about an "ostruzione cervico-uretrale" in the same breath as the words "inpatient" and "urology".
3 hrs
  -> Well, I can see your point but I answered according to the question asked - maybe it is a typo in the ST then!
neutral  Andreea Zlotea: Normally, "degenze" refers to the department/unit/division the patient has been in before, there is no reference to the disease....
3 hrs
  -> That's right Andrea but with not much context to go on it's difficult to provide an accurate answer (I did indicate my confidence level to reflect this!). Perhaps Joseph is on the right track by suggesting a typo in the ST! Who knows?
neutral  SJLD: if OCU is indeed ostruzione cervico-uretrale I would translate this as "bladder neck obstruction"

NOT "OCU Urologia", but sounds some different.. In the above schedules, it seems that the asker should ask two different units "OCULISTICA + UROLOGIA"

neutral  Joseph Tein: Part of the confusion here is that the letters 'OCU' are initials ... I'm sure they stand for 3 separate words ... not an abbreviation for "OCUlistica".
