Disc Versus Disk? Back In The Stone Ages When I First Became An MT Jul 17, 2014I was told disc when referring to optic discs and disk when referring to the spine. Then I believe the standard was changed to disc for everything. I just recently started a new job where I was pinged for using disc in a lumbar steroid injection report by my supervisor who told me to use disk for the spine.
So which is correct? I can't keep up since they put a new book of style every other year.
Thanks! ...
Back To Work After Back Surgery Aug 23, 2012Hello,

I've been a transcriptionist for many years and this is my profession. Does anyone have a suggestion what to tell these companies that will hire you to work from home when you have to get up so much?

Sep 26, 2014I work with an MT who insists that it is degenerative disk disease, but we have an ortho doctor who insists it is degenerative disc disease.

Now, I will say that I always typed it "degenerative disc disease" because I worked for an ortho office and was told that was the preferred spelling. When I start ...
