pus

When a doc dictates pus-e (ex: pus-e discharge), how do you spell it?.  Just adding a -y- would not be correct but if you add a -sy-, that could be interpreted as profanity.

Anyone know what to do here?

• pus - what to do?
  • it's a legitimate word...if they say it, transcribe it...sm - flybye...good grief! :)
  • I went to an AAMT convention once and - Claudia Tessier was giving a talk.
  • Oh, for Goodness sake - the word is "pussy" - txmt
    • some people might be offended by seeing that word - no profanity on this board
      • meowwwwwwwwwwwww lol.......nm - meow, meow, meow
      • It is not profanity when used as an adjective - txmt
    • my goodness we have high horses in our midsts! - Are you getting paid by the response?
  • try purulent - NM
    • Yes, purulent is how we were told to type it at one of my jobs - mighty
  • I would transcribe it as pus-like...nm - Me
  • re-word it slightly - tracy
    • Thanks guys! - What to do?
