Freak Show

When examining a hand X-Ray Carter and Del Amico discover they were taught different names for some of the bones of the hand and wrist. Carter called one bone the multangular, Del Amico called it the trapezium; Carter called another the navicular and Del Amico called it the scaphoid. Neither are wrong, bones can often have more than one name, typically they have a Latin name and an English (or the equivalent in another language). It is unusual that neither of them knew both names, as medical schools often teach both the common name and Latin name, as using the Latin name when talking to doctors from other countries helps avoid confusion.
