How to spell EPIDERAL correctly?

The correct spelling for "epideral" is actually "epidural". It refers to a form of anesthesia commonly used during childbirth or surgery. For those prone to misspelling it, a helpful suggestion would be to remember that it starts with "epi-" (meaning "upon") and ends with "dural" (relating to the dura mater, a membrane in the spinal cord).
