ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, FOURTH EDITION
It hardly seems that 2 years have gone by since I took on the QRD and debuted with the third edition. Once again, Joe Hoffman has been of particular help, especially regarding the addition of terms surgical. Cynthia Kendall, BMET, was kind enough to offer comments on the third edition that helped shape the fourth. Jennifer Parker, Director of ARBO/COPE wrote to alert me about their website, which I have added. Irena Prikhodko, Customer Service at AAO, helped me when I was trying to track down the elusive Esterman Grid. Debbie McCall, RN, of The Franklin Eye Center of Carolina Ophthalmology was kind enough to let me use their 2004 edition of the PDR for Ophthalmology one afternoon. Dr. Charles Kirby, of Eyesight Associates of Western North Carolina, suggested new terms worthy of addition. Other colleagues of assistance were Ken Daniels, OD; Russell Edwards, MD; Jenean Carlton, ABOC, NCLC; and Norma Garber, COMT. Stephen Findlay, Reference Assistant at the Macon County Library rescued me at the last minute by finding a reference I really needed. Then Collin drove over the mountain to pick it up. And Bernie Calaway listened to brainstorming and helped renumber appendices. Thanks, guys.
Thanks is due to the awesome team in SLACK's Professional Book Division: John Bond, Amy McShane, Debra Toulson, Michelle Gatt, Lauren Plummer, and Jim Pennewill.
Finally, without the support of my family, I could not spend so many hours at the computer doing work such as this. Thank you to my husband, Jim, whose medical
