What does the medical abbreviation DC mean?

Answer 1

DC can mean discharge, discontinue, or Doctor of Chiroractic, depending on the context. If it is written as 'D&C', it refers to the medical procedure dilation and curettage.
There is no medical term that is abbreviated as DC. It is generally used to refer to a chiropractor, Doctor of Chiropractic.

If you are referring to a D&C, it means "dilation and curretage". This is a medical procedure during which the uterus is dilated and the lining scraped to remove dead or diseased tissue.

That is not correct--dc means discontinue, as in to discontinue a certain medication, and d/c means discharge, as in to discharge from treatment. Here is one of many sources that list medical abbreviations....http://www.Oregon.gov/DHS/spd/provtools/nursing/study_guides/med_term_1.pdf
Doctor of Chiropractic. By definition it is not a medical credential, medical being associated with physician, or MD. DC is a degree for practice of chiropractic which is considered an alternative medicine.
