Can anyone confirm the proper capitalization of this procedure?  I cannot find it in any book I have and Google gives it many ways.


Thanks!

You know when you go to a website for a piece of equipment or a drug name, sometimes the product is in all capital leters.  Is this for the website only or do you transcribe in your reports as all caps?  For instance, TAXUS stent or Taxus.  Thanks a lot.

First I was corrected for not capitalizing "statin," and now I am corrected for capitaling "Statin."  Seems to me that it is not a brand name but generic and would not need capitalization. eq. The patient was put on a statin.

According to the Book of Style, drug names, trademark, or trade names that have spelling such as pHisoHex can be spelled Phisohex - only the first letter caps. Does the same hold true for instruments? (It's called idiosyncratic capitalization in the BOS.) Like DERMABOND can be Dermabond.

like that?  Many thanks in advance!  (And merry Christmas!)

Capitalization of Chlamydia
Is Chlamydia always capital according to AAMT rules?
RE: Capitalization of Chlamydia
the genus Chlamydia - All genus names should be capitalized. I do agrree with poster Anon.  This is something a transcriptionist should already know.  Book of Style rules would never apply.  This is a Latin term, i.e., genus, therefore is capitalized.  A quick look in a dictionary would have explained this to you.  I am not intending to give you a hard time, but basic transcription knowledge, i.e., research ability, is needed, not just the correct spelling of words.

Would you capitalize emergency room or emergency department if the department name is given with the name of the hospital in same sentence - such as


____  _____ ______ (name of hospital) Emergency Room



I was always taught that if the name of the hospital was used it was to be capitalized, but if not, then lower case? 


Thanks



capitalization of departments
Subject: capitalization of departments

I used to think they should always be capitalized, but this is what the company I work for says to do: Substitute a name (say, Dr. Smith) for the department. If it sounds right, capitalize. If a name does not sound right, don't. For example, we consulted Orthopedic Surgery (we consulted Dr. Smith).  We need an orthopedic surgery opinion (we need a Dr. Smith opinion - no, does not sound good). However, you also have to go by the preference of the facility. One of my accounts wants these capitalized all the time, even Operating Room (I think that looks silly - as if that operating room is more important than any other).
