Subject: No, not a medical record, but it is being put
While I realize it is the OP's responsibility to doublecheck whatever answers received here, and it's fine to be lazy in any other posts on the board, but IMO, it's still a good idea to give correct answers -- spelling, capitalization, and all -- when providing word help. Otherwise, if the OP is also "lazy" it will end up in a medical record the wrong way. Not major in this case, but could be in others ...
Just my opinion, of course.

dictionary before using it. Decubitus is an adjective - it describes the type of ulcer, or type of position. I don't think you can make an adjective in the plural form.
If you google "decubiti plural", you'll see a list of medical books that quote it to be an incorrect form.
I think it's just one of those things that so many people have accepted it in that form that they think it's correct, when it really isn't.

great site: Onelook.com You can enter partial words, for instance, you couldn't quite remember the exact spelling, but you knew it began with o and ended with -mycosis. So you could enter o*mycosis and it would give you a list of words and dictionaries containing that word. It's a very handy site when you just can't quite find something.
