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.

Subject: Ringer's
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.

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

There may be other opinions out there, but since it is supposed to be pH, keep it that way even if it does start the sentence. I like the idea of adding the word THE to the front, though. That works too and solves the problem! Good thinking!!!
