I'm tired of trying to understand mushmouth practitioners, those who talk at the speed of light, ...

I 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.

Thanks! ...
