I have always typed Ringer's and the doc is saying that, but in my Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book 2007 it has lactated Ringer and Ringer solution (now Ringer irrigation).  So confusing. Why do they do that??? LOL  Has it changed???

Yes, I have to agree w/ MT50.  I also have always typed Ringer's... but there is that rule on eponyms.  Still, it sounds strange, to me anyway.

That is correct; however, it is most always dictated "lactated Ringer's" and that is also correct.  In this case, it would be Ringer's (possessive)... Hope this helps also.
