both are accepted...
Subject: both are accepted...
I think ultimately it depends on the client, but my company prefers that the 's is left off.
here is an excerpt from my company's stand on it...
AAMT first advocated dropping the possessive form of eponyms in 1990.
We adopted this standard because it promotes consistency and clarity.
More recently, The AMA Manual of Style (1998), Stedman's Medical Dictionary (2000), and Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary (2000), have acknowledged the trend away from the possessive form.
It is important to note, however, that use of the possessive form remains an acceptable alternative if dictated and/or if indicated as the preference by employer or client.
Apgar score
Babinski sign
Down syndrome
Gram stain
Hodgkin lymphoma
In awkward constructions, such as when the noun following the eponym is omitted, the possessive form becomes preferred.
The patient's husband suffers from Alzheimer's.

Tendo and tendinitis are both accepted, it all depends on your doc dictating.
Subject: Tendo and tendinitis are both accepted, it all depends on your doc dictating.
Many years ago, I typed tendonitis on a report and the orthopod almost pecked me to the wall and said it was "tendinitis" and that is what he wanted to see in his reports. Other docs prefer tendonitis..sooo....as far as the rule goes, spell it like the client wants it typed (they both mean the same thing).
Technically, yes
Subject: Technically, yes
it would be typed as you have it with the commas, but I think the meaning is still clear without them.
Technically...
Subject: Technically...
defervescence (past tense defervesced) means "abatement of fever" but MD's usually use it pertaining to the patient generally getting better or doing better, so I would say OK.
Technically it would not because
Subject: Technically it would not because
our system is not metric and based on units of 10. But apparently not all docs are math geniuses, but it's just the kind of thing some docs will get bent out of shape out of, so some accounts will actually specify you do it as dictated. Grrr.

he is probably not drinking at the moment, but agree it could have been worded a whole lot clearer.

BI-RADS or BIRADS?
Subject: BI-RADS or BIRADS?
I've always been told to type it "BI-RADS" but since it stands for "Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System," I don't see any reason why there should be a dash, and if you Google it there are a lot of sites that do not use the dash.
Comments?
