There was an absence of objective symptoms, and the driver did not have slurred speech or any other of the symptoms relating to intoxication,'' Garcia said. When he was pulled over, he ``displayed objective symptoms of alcohol intoxication'' and failed sobriety tests, according to a CHP report.
Medical Definition of OB/GYN. OB/GYN: A commonly used abbreviation. OB is short for obstetrics or for an obstetrician, a physician who delivers babies. GYN is short for gynecology or for a gynecologist, a physician who specializes in treating diseases of the female reproductive organs.
The handy Latin prefix ob-, meaning in the way, against, or toward, occurs in many Latin and English words. Obstreperous comes from ob- plus strepere, a verb meaning to make a noise, so someone who is obstreperous is literally making noise to rebel against something, much like a protesting crowd or an unruly child. The word has been used in English since around the beginning of the 17th century.
