Just started OB/GYN myself. If you don't have this:
Get the book "Stedman's OB/GYN Words." I got mine at Barnes & Noble "used and out of print" for $9.00 and it's the newest one out. Perfect condition when I got it. It's getting a bit "dogeared" already. I use it constantly when doing OB/GYN, as I've never done it before.

as *nn* as I believe I was the first to comment on this kathie's suggestion for caudal vater syndrome as having nothing to do with the low back. Anyway, then she made the comment about all diabetics having high blood pressure, and it raised the hair on the back of my neck. When I read LOL-sm post, I literally busted up laughing! I thought it was so funny and so FITTING. it put an end to the thread and made every one laugh...good ending to something that was getting ugly and sort of put the QA back a step or two, as well! It was great! Still laughing!

When is Staphylococcus not capital? This is confusing me.
I always thought Staphyloccocus was capitalized until on my QA I was told different, but can't find the reason and it's been a while since this happened. Now it bothers me not knowing how to determine whether I'm capitalizing it when its not supposed to be. Can you help me with this? Thanks
