Subject: School name in Florida? Help!!!
Is there a school in Florida (elementary I am guessing since the patient is age 10) that sounds like Moracomie? I can't find it. Thanks in advance if you have any clues.

sounds like he says the patient caught some s/l "pawn frons" in the yard. What could this be? Pond frogs maybe? It sounds more like pawn and frons though. Hmmm . . . . can you help? Any MTs from Florida????????  Need your input! Thanks so much.

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.
