cup-to-disc ratio - My ophthalmologist dictator

[ In Reply To ..]
always dictates this as one number for the right eye and one for the left eye, but sometimes one eye will be "cup-to-disc ratio 0.45-0.5 on the right, and 0.5 on the left."

If you look it up in an encyclopedia, cup-to-disc ratio is always a single number, not written as a ratio.

Disk Versus Disc - Degenerative Disk/disc Disease?
Sep 26, 2014

I 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.  He is so annoyed that in his latest dictation he says "humor me and just spell it d-i-s-c" and then proceeds to spell the word every single time he says it throughout the report. 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 ...

LPH Ratio
Jul 09, 2014

Does anyone else feel the ratio for LPH has changed on their program?  I have been noticing more and more that no matter how fast or how much I can do in very little time, the LPH shows less.  I had straight type/transcribed job that was very long and it came out 122 LPH.  Sound file was 13:50, was done in 30 minutes, which averages out at less than 3 minutes per dictated minute, which is average.  My calculations it should have been around 141 LPH?  (only straight type ...

Disk Or Disc?? What's The Final Verdict?

Once upon a time, many years ago, I was taught "disk" for eye, "disc" for vertebrae. These days, QA is contraindicating themselves like crazy.  If I type disc for vertebrae, they change it to disk.  If I type disk for vertebrae, they change it to disc.  What gives?  Same goes for eye.  This is driving me nuts.  What do you do here? ...
