Pectus excavatum

I don't think Pectus excavatum is "pigeon chest" that would be Pectus carinatum which pokes out. Just wondering if you know something I don't. BJ^Talk 06:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I can't find any internet sources that support it but I think asking for opinion on the talk page would be a good idea because the terms might differ around the world. (In the U.S. PC == "pigeon chest", PE == "funnel chest") BJ^Talk 06:30, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

As you're an existing Wikipedian editor, you should have some advantage because you should know how to contribute and improve articles already. :) If you get to a certain point threshold, there is also a possiblity to travel to Canberra to attend a workshop at the Australian Institute of Sport. --LauraHale (talk) 10:03, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
