 and she dinged me if I transcribed it.  I searched Merriam Webster online and can't find it as a plural for decubitus.  I still don't think it's a real word.  Some employers want you to transcribe what the dictator says, whether it's a real word or not, and others don't want you transcribing doc speak when it's not a real word.  To the original op, if this is a verbatim account, I'd transcribe decubiti, but if it's not, I'd transcribe decubitus ulcer(s).  I'd probably go with the plural because I think they share MT50's belief that it's the plural of decubitus.

 This is podiatry.  He's not saying a P or J that I can hear.  Definitely hear it starting with an M or N and ending with a C. Maybe I need to get to bed, but this one is making me cranky.
