Google on "degenerative disc disease" and "degenerative disk disease". I use "disc" when transcribing for my ortho clinic because, when I got the account and asked for samples, each and every sample on each and every report used "disc". No matter what your research tells you, you will do what the client says, especially when it doesn't really matter. And this does not really matter.

I'm doing a psychiatric consultation by an Asian dictator, and he says this patient has been living in s/l Fiocor House or ThreeCor House for the last several months due to alcohol and drug problems. This is for one of my accounts in Michigan. I can't understand this pronunciation well enough to get a good s/l for Google, so what would ya'll recommend doing to find this darned term?

Subject: This is what separates the "Good" MTs
Your attitude will take you to the top of this field. If you are not afraid to do your own research and find your own answers, you will learn so much!
As a QA person, I can tell the difference in an MT's work who really cares and really tries hard to do their own work. The ones who seek the easy way out only hurt themselves. When you research and hunt and hunt and hunt for the right term, you better believe when you find it you will never forget it again. However, the ones who don't do their own work, don't seem to have the information planted in their memories and repeat the same mistakes over and over.
Your speed will go up and up and up because you will have the fund of knowledge in your head, while others will be sitting here on this board waiting for someone to answer their post.
Keep up the great work. You are going to be a wonderful MT. I wish we could clone you!

Subject: No, I know how to research, thank you.
However, it's a verbatim account. When QA and the doctor send it back to me telling me to do what they say, I do it no matter what my reference book or spellchecker say. The physicians are the ones who are making up new words or combining things, not me.

Apparently in CTS release, "pillar pain" is common. Found this:
After surgery, the healing edges of the ligament beneath the skin are usually tender for at least four to six weeks after the procedure. Temporary tenderness on each side of the palm where the ligament is attached to the bones on each side of the palm to these bones is common after surgery and is called "pillar pain". This generally resolves gradually. Hand therapy is often helpful during recovery.

Not to flame but how is she doing it "on her own" with a full critique done here in public. And I'll ask again, why isn't her QA helping her in the way they want her trained or giving her links to document her answers so she can research. One learns better when one does for themselves rather than being fed by the silver spoon.

The OP had used Google and found instances of both words being used. Sounds more like the OP was looking for some help with the proper usage of the word in the context of a report. I don't see why she (or he) caught any grief for asking for opinions on the proper term to use.
