Would it be possible that my doc is saying "Unusual cornea. Right propine measuring 4 mm, the left 2 mm." I am not the best at researching yet. I have been on quite a few sites and you guys were my last stop. I appreciate the help.

I've never heard of "unusual" cornea. Maybe "irregular". And he's probably saying right "pupil" measuring 4mm

s/l Maggie Eyes??? sm

This is an FNP who does sometimes create her own terminology...
The patient has stepped on something in the garden and there is a foreign body in his great toe...
She dictates: "He is guarding his toe significantly. We put on the s/l Maggie eyes and with simple washing with saline the remaining foreign body was resolved with no discoloration remaining."
Thanks in advance if anyone might know what she could possibly be saying.

bilateral eyes
Subject: bilateral eyes
Okay, doc keeps correcting me when I correct his dictation, stating bilateral knees, bilateral breasts, etc. to bilateral knee, bilateral breast - am I wrong? It seems redundant his way. He said today bilateral eyes but it seems to type bilateral eye is just weird. Would you type just eyes or bilateral eye or bilateral eyes? Thanks,

we know if it's disk or disc and which is the preferable way to go and we also know that it's bottom line - CLIENT PREFERENCE.

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.

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.

Report is a pulmonary consult. No other mention of eyes. Can't find anything remotely like this term anywhere, but maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places? Thanks.

Subject: disc vs disk - poll please
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?
