offered no context, such as whether this is a neurology report and what part of the body the patient is having symptoms in? If you put that in your subject line, then it will catch people's attention who type those reports.

Well U do realize WE R the minority..*LOL*..sm
Subject: Well U do realize WE R the minority..*LOL*..sm
Hard to change my ways anyway at this age.....*LOL* but we ARE the minority on this, as I have many people in my life in the business forever too. I took a formal MT class 26 years ago at a major teaching hospital (with branches all over this country) and this very issue came up, and they (the instructors) insisted that it is disk for eyes and disc for the spine. But, like most reasonable posters have already said, they are both acceptable in use. Again, it's always client preference. 
And she does NOT realize that demographics..sm
Subject: And she does NOT realize that demographics..sm
Demographics have TONS to do with that - I remember in 1980 - where I live had TONS of elderly (now deceased) so the first years of me doing MT work, the very elderly are usually in hospitals with these kinds of problems. But now where I live, median age is 38!!!
Hence, it doesn't fit the bill any longer, and demographics have changed so drastically in the USA the past 30 years and especially the last 10 years that these statements of hers aren't cutting it.
Oh well, with the cute icon popping bubble gum of hers and it is a very cute emoticom, a grown woman in her 40s-50s-60s I do not think would usually choose an emoticom like that one - perhaps she is very, very young, and we cannot fault her for being a baby. She'll grow up one day and realize it all on her own, IF she opens up her eyes.

Can you give a sentence to put into context what he's talking about?
But basically, I'd say if the doc dictates it that way, I'd type it as 157 cm and 3/8 inch.
Sometimes we worry too much that there's a way of doing something, and we're missing it -- We have to quit torturing ourselves about this kind of thing -- I know, it's tough :).
But I've never heard of a way to type something like that, other than just figure out what would make sense and not muddy up the report.
In a case like this, just give them what they say. If they have a problem with it, they can clear it up and instruct someone on what exactly it is that they expect.

always used "bingeing" - I think because years ago "binging" wasn't accepted by my spellcheck, but "bingeing" was, so I've just stuck with it.

The word "chlamydia" is the genus and is only capitalized if it is followed by the name of the family. This per Dorland's Medical Dictionary. If the word "chlamydia" is not followed by the family name, the word is not capitalized.

I do not mind helping people with their questions, but would appreciate if you could give a little more context when asking. Perhaps a sentence or two containing the s/l or word in question or some sort of reference to what type report, body area, etc., would be welcome. It would greatly help me to help you.

The first thing you should learn is HOW to ask a question. You can't just jump in with one word or half a phrase or a sound-like and cry for help. You need to give some example of what you are looking for. People on this board do not mind helping you or they would not be here, but a little more information on your part would help us help you. Medical transcription is more than just one word or half a phrase or a sound-like and most times it is necessary to give some indication of what is wrong with the patient or a diagnosis in order to get an answer.

Dorland's Medical Dictionary:
Pexis:
1. Fixation of matter by a tissue.
2. Surgical fixation, usually by suture.
Therefore pexed would be past tense, as in was pexed (or fixed).

O’Leary uterine artery ligation
. This has been used in cases of bleeding during Caesarean sections (n=265 over 30 years (27)). Sutures including 2-3 cm of myometrium are placed 2-3 cm below the uterine incision.
The uterus is grasped by the assistant and elevated upwards and to the opposite side of the uterine artery which will be ligated to expose the vessels coarse through the broad ligament.
- A large atraumatic needle with no. 1 chromic cutgut, O-vicryl or O-Dexon is passed through and into the myometrium from anterior to posterior 2-3 cm medial to the uterine vessels.
- The needle is brought forward through avascular area in the broad ligament lateral to the uterine artery and vein. The suture is tied anteriorly.
- In case of caesarean section, the sutures are placed 2-3 cm below the level of uterine incision under the reflected peritoneal flap which should be displaced downwards with the bladder to avoid ligation of the ureters.
- If caesarean section was not done, peritoneal incision is not indicated and bladder can be simply pushed downwards.
- Uterine artery ligation is haemostatic by reducing the pulse pressure to the uterus as 90% of its blood supply is from the uterine vessels.
- Collateral circulation and recanalization of the uterine vessels will be established within 6-8 weeks.
It has a success rate of 95%

I don't know what your word may be other than what the other poster already suggested.

So, just wanted to say thanks for making me laugh on a day that has been filled with stress.
