You were the instigator of the entire drama this sm
Subject: You were the instigator of the entire drama this sm
weekend. You have embarrassed and insulted all the MTs who come to this board. I'm shocked that Goldbird and the administrator let you stay here, which is the reason I think you are Goldbird. You really should get some counseling for your unbridled hostility.
Did you think that maybe the STen-Tel CEO used a medical spellchecker for his post? Maybe that's why "breech" was spelled that way.
You are one scary person, using aliases all over here to back up your own rantings. It's so obvious. If Goldbird threatens to remove my privileges for using this board because I criticized you, then I'll know for sure you are Goldbird. You are abusing your privileges and striking down with venom any one who comes close to figuring you out.
It's interesting how no one can stand up to you without having their posts deleted immediately. Power has gone to your head, Stapler.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself, but I don't think you are capable of shame. You are not capable of compassion or loyalty.
I really feel sorry for you. I, too, believe in karma, and you had better duck! Wish I could be around when you face the demons you created.

I spent a load of money getting trained for MT and I STILL am not sure about this. What do the experienced MTs think??
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.

Logical it's not, LOL.

it really saddens (and scares me) when I get blasted for using BOS as a reference. BOS is not perfect, but it's what we have as our chief reference, and it is answering many of the questions posed here.
