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 - poll please
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?

when referring to the spine is it disk or disc? Also is it 3 mm or 3mm
Subject: when referring to the spine is it disk or disc? Also is it 3 mm or 3mm

I noticed QA is changing my work and what something I see doesnt look right to me.  I type 3 mm and they change it to 3mm.  Also I received a half typed report and they were using disc for disk.  Maybe I need to start studying a little more.
