oh that kind of tube you mean. I c. I dont know about the US since I am not from there either, but I am sure they have it there too. We here just dont call it tube. (obviosily, since we dont speak english ;-) But we have two different kinds of "tubes". The one we call tube always goes to the lung or to the direction of the lung. We different that from "tubes" that go to the stomach or from the brain. A tube for us is inserted into the nose for oxygen and only partly inserted. We used to do the naso-gastric "tube" as well, but pretty much stopped a couple years back. The risk that it has not passed through the windpipe and down into the lungs is too big (especially since we are a teaching hospital)and it is extremly uncomfortable, so for people who need vitamin or liquid supplement we use the blood vessels. But we still use the NG "tube" for Nasogastric aspiration (suction) - to drain the stomach's contents via the "tube", especially to drain the swallowed air in patients with gastrointestinal obstructions. But most of the time we go directly through the mouth. But that just at my hospital. I am sure other parts of germany do it differntly. But its interesting that in France it is common for anorexic people. And my confusion about the word tube and the other tube word is big now.. I have to look it up. ;-). But I think you are right, the US seems to have only one word for the two.

Thanks for the explaination! I am so not in the medical domain, so I don't have much knowledges about it!
I didn't realize that you were german! Where are you from? I used to study german at school (I'm ashamed to reveal that I've been studying it for 10 years and now, I'm unable to have a conversation in german) and went to Germany twice (Schwartzwald, near Freiburg and Berlin).

for 10 years? Well then I am sure you can answer following question?

Was macht die "kleine Ryan" Geschichte, ich dachte dein Beta hatte gesagt, dass sie fast fertig ist?

I am sure you know what I mean, since I ask the question pretty much every week.

Ich kann es kaum abwarten bis du mit dem Sequel anfaengst, indem wie du mal meintest Ryan ungefaehr 10 sein wird.

I am currently living in Hannover.... Oh yeah Schwartzwald is geil.

Ich kann was du geschrieben hast verstehen.
But I so cannot answer your question in german (because when I'm looking for a german word, it's an english word that I remember!)
Anne35, my beta is really busy, so I don't know when she'll be abble to beta it. Give me your email address and I'll send the final part of A Brand New life to you!
