To the student MT:  It is truly frustrating to learn something one way and then find that not all clients want it done that way.

This is a situation where an Expander like Instant Text comes in really handy.  I made the "mistake" of inserting all drugs that I came across in my Instant Text expander in proper form, with initial caps for the brands and lowercase for the generics.  Then, I was introduced to an account that required that all drugs be capitalized.  This created a bit of a slowdown, to say the least.  But, in the long run, it is easier to go back and capitalize everything than to go back and deciper which ones are brands and which are generic.  Those of you who are familiar with Instant Text will understand what I mean when I say that it is good to keep the drug names in a separate glossary.  I was then also able to make a new glossary with Instant Text, by copying my old glossary and renaming it; this time changing all drug names to initial caps.  Yes, it was time consuming, but worth it.
