Subject: I learned it with the O in school back in the 1980s,
but when I was mentored in the 1990s, only the I spelling was acceptable, and this has been consistent with every place I've worked since.
Logical it's not, LOL.

When I was in school, we
Subject: When I was in school, we
were told it was disc for the back and disk for the eyes, and don't ever forget it (medical secretarial associate degree). My first job was as a secretary in the operating room, and again I was reminded to spell it disc for the back.
Then I went to work for a service (in an office), where the MTs learned on the job mostly. For some reason they believed it should be spelled "disk" for the back and "disc" for the eyes, and they felt just as strongly about it. I was horrified. We would actually have dictating MDs ask us to "Please spell it the regular way: disc" so I know the MDs were not happy with the "k" they were getting.
This change does seem to have come about because of AAMT (or whatever they call themselves now).
I always get clarification at each job because I know QA will have an opinion every time.

Nursing school teaches it as pus-like.
Subject: Nursing school teaches it as pus-like.
I am an LPN turned MT (did take classes). In nursing school the very first thing we learned about charting, doing admission assessments, etc. was DO NOT use the word pussy. In the medical profession it is not acceptable, even though doctors do dictate it. Nurses are taught to use pus-like. In addition to that and what the BOS says, as well as for the state of professionalism, I always use pus-like and have never had it corrected.

It sounds like it might be spondylolisthesis, which would be descriptive of the L5-S1 joint; where as anterolisthesis refers to a subluxation of one vertebral body upon another would be stated as "there is anterolisthesis of L5 on S1"

CC: Back pain
Subject: CC: Back pain
Thanks for taking the time on this . . .
While the CC: is back pain, the subjective describes . . .
This is an 81-year-old female who, for the last month, has had some intermittent pain next to her right shoulder blade. She is right-handed, and she has been doing a lot of gardening and weed whacking. It does not bother her much during the day, but at night when she sits, and then when she is lying in bed at night, she feels what she describes as a muscle spasm with twinges. She also at times has some diffuse pain from her elbow radiating up to her neck when she “overdoes it”, but that has been going on for quite some time, and she does not feel like that has recently changed.

Subject: thanks, I thought of that and went back

Since that time, she has had increasing low back pain. She did do the s/l-Ergosco- method. She had no relief. She did have an injection to her SI joint region, which had a terrible reaction. Since that time, she has had low back pain.
