I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)
Subject: I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)
Now some are saying it's q. 4h.?? UGH, YUCK!! I have also worked on accounts where it had to be "every 4 hours," and we had to spell out p.r.n. (as needed for). At least we got more characters.
First rule: It is all what the "client/account" wants, not always what the BOS says it is. I realize that language and its usage is constantly changing, but I've seen so many BOS and client flip-flops on so many other things in nearly 3 decades that it's laughable. What isn't laughable is when we get penalized for not knowing what they want, even when they, themselves, don't know or are wrong.
Oh, and I still prefer the old no spaces: q.4h., q.4-6h., q.12h., and so on.....
Disk

To my knowledge disc with a C is for the back and disk with a K is for the eyes.
Not sure about your other word.

The ortho word book has both, but has disk listed first, so that is probably the one they prefer

Subject: anyone, eh?........we know disk/disc....sm
we know if it's disk or disc and which is the preferable way to go and we also know that it's bottom line - CLIENT PREFERENCE.
Now, if you continually cannot help anyone in this thread and merely want to be confrontational and into one upmanship, please leave the board and find a more confrontational one upmanship place to hang out....it would be GREATLY appreciated by probably everyone.
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.
disc vs disk
Subject: disc vs disk
My understanding is BOS says "disc" pertaining to the eye and "disk" for all other anatomical terms not related to the eye.

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?

I was just wondering what the general opinion is on disc versus disk when referring to the back. AMMT Book of Style indicates disk should be used but I had thought disc was the more generally accepted.

Subject: when referring to the spine is it disk or disc? Also is it 3 mm or 3mm
I noticed QA is changing my work and what something I see doesnt look right to me. I type 3 mm and they change it to 3mm. Also I received a half typed report and they were using disc for disk. Maybe I need to start studying a little more.
