optic or haptic?
Subject: 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,
Once again need some ideas. I swear it sounds like she is saying hemnio-optic but no work exists like that...

Any ideas?

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.

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.
