optic or haptic?

In a cataract extraction, would a haptic or an optic be captured in the ciliary sulcus? He later says that the optic was captured in the capsular bag with the haptics being latched securely in the sulcus.

I don't exactly know what you are asking.  If the question is regarding what he meant and you have any question, flag it and send it to your Q.A. or whereever you send reports with blanks.  Not a good idea to try to "correct" the doc's dictation and an even worse idea to guess.

Hi all,

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

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.

disc vs disk - poll please
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?
