A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
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 started here, this particular MT told me I was wrong and it should be disk. I dont' have the current BOS, so I'm not sure what the current rule is. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
