Pt has numerous ulcers. Dr. keeps saying "decubiti." Steadmans says plural is decubitus, not decubiti. But online says plural is decubiti. Which is it? ...
Past Medical History: The patient was treated for a (cycle?) decubitus ulcer, stage 2-3.
It sounds like cycle, but google isn't showing anything for cycle decubitus ulcer. Please help! ...
The following sentence is...
"With some difficulty and after turning the patient on the right lateral decubitus, the area of the cecum was found."
Should "position" or "side" be after "decubitus?" This was a foreign doctor dictating...could he have left the word out, or is this a common way to say the phrase?
Thanks!

TIA for your help with this! ...
