Disc or disk
Subject: Disc or disk

What is correct?   C-spine herniated disc or disk?  Degenerative disc or disk disease, etc.  I have seen this both ways.  Confused.


Thanks


 


disk disease?

I'm hearing disk disease but I'm more familiar with degenerative disk disease or lumbar disk disease. Is just the term disk disease fairly common? Thanks.


Per BOS, disK is preferred for both.

Disk or Disc

I am typing a report of an L4-L5 disk herniation, but I see on google it is spelled with a C at the end instead of a K, so just wondering now if spelling it disk is correct or not?


Thanks!


disc/disk
Subject: disc/disk

OK, so I am officially an oldtimer! Actually I asked my TL if I could use "disc" for back stuff because I just like how it looks so much better than "disk". He said I could, however in the EYE, it is "disk". So another difference of opinion here.

My understanding is BOS says "disc" pertaining to the eye and "disk" for all other anatomical terms not related to the eye.

Subject: History of mucusy, loose stools (mucusy???)

Okay.  I know the difference between mucus (n) and mucous (adj.), but I'm not sure if mucusy is a word.  My spell check accepts it, but I can't find it in a medical dictionary.  If not, any advice on how to recast this sentence?  Thanks!

Subject: disc vs disk - poll please

I thought the preferred word to use for both oph and ortho was disc.  Either are okay to use, but keep it consistent in your transcription, disk for spine, disc for eyes.  I guess it just depends who you work for.  What do you all use?
