The expression is "I'm at a loss" not "lost." And it should read "Mother deceased at age 71" not "decease." These just might be typos as you're probably in a hurry, but I wanted to be sure you were aware just in case.

The dictator in your example is not giving a specific clinic; the word "a" or "the" is understood.
You will often hear "The patient was seen by Oncology," or "...when Cardiology evaluated the patient." A good rule of thumb is: If you can substitute "Bob," then you DO capitalize. "The patient was seen by Bob." Yes. "The patient was seen by the cardiology service," -- "The patient was seen by the Bob..." No. Get it?
Of course, in MT every rule was made to be broken. This is a rule of thumb, but it always depends on what your hospital's or clinic's guidelines.
