The report from Pathology indicates that the tumor is benign.
divisions

internal units
Lowercase common names for internal units of an organization.
The patient's medication was changed because apparently the pharmacy can no longer obtain paregoric.

Please note the change in Pharmacy hours...
Capitalize internal elements when their names are not generic terms.

I love it when we can "out wit" them. Of course a lot of these guys, not only ESLs, make up the stuff. The first thing they taught was about the prefixes etc in the old transcription classes. I had been typing for about 2 years when they offered the class at a junior college where my husband was attending, he got me the book, which I still have, and I almost keeled over at all the different combos etc.
GOOD GOING GIRL!!!!!!

Tendinitis: Because this word is based on the Latin word tendo, with a genitive singular form of tendinis, and a combining form that is therefore tendin, the spelling tendonitis is irregular.

I know a lot of folks diss it but it's helpful in settling these kinds of nagging questions that one gets (I don't know about you, but I start overthinking at about my 6th hour in....)
Anyway, here goes:
1. See the Joint Commission list of dangerous abbreviatinos here: http://www.jointcommission.org/PatientSafety/DoNotUseList
I didn't realize cc was on there as a "don't do" until I got one when I changed jobs!
And no apostrophe with capped abbreviations, so it's WBCs.
2. q.p.m., I believe.
4. not capped.
5. no hyphen for "non" and other common prefixes. Use good current dictionary as a guide.
6. No comma
7. no colon in military time
8. Unless facility prefers otherwise, lowercase generic and cap brand. No shortcuts, I'm afraid, other than perhaps a good spellchecker or expander.
Hope that helps. Like I said, an AAMT Book of Style is helpful in these kinds of things, though obviously facility preferences take precedence.

Is huffing fermented poop the next new street drug?
Filed under Offbeat, Stuff I Like
There’s been articles floating around on the internet warning about a new street drug called Jenkem. The latest “informational bulletin” from a Sheriff’s office in Collier County, Florida was posted on The Smoking Gun website. Apparently, Jenkem is fermented urine and fecal matter and when inhaled, the concentrated methane supposedly gives off a powerful high.
I checked it out at snopes.com and found this LINK. However, the actual veracity of this story is still considered “undetermined” and a link to a BBC news article was provided. Supposedly, this started with the street kids in Zambia as a cheap way of getting high. The story is too disturbing and too disgusting to go into detail here, so click away at the link at your own risk and not if you plan on eating anytime soon.
The DEA would have a hell of a time regulating something like poop. Moms like me could be the newest victims of this new drug. Who needs a crack pipe when we have a diaper genie we could plaster our face against and inhale it hallucinogenic contents?
