Ok, I'm wondering if I'm missing something here... Should be either O+ or O-, not both as stated or am I totally in the dark here?

gram-negative, lactose-negative rods is correct. I found a couple of interesting websites SM
Subject: gram-negative, lactose-negative rods is correct. I found a couple of interesting websites SM
after doing a google search for gram-negative, lactose-negative rods. Basically testing organisms to see if they ferment lactose (positive) or not (negative).
Also, just FYI, gram-negative is not capitalized.
Probably too late, I'm sure. Better late than never, I guess.

troponin
Subject: troponin
Troponin nondetectable. They always say what sounds like "nondetectable". I have searched for the word "nondetectable" and I cannot reference it in any English or medical dictionary. I believe it should be "undetectable", however, my QA person marked that incorrect and said it should be "nondetectable". Any opinions.

According to my lab book, hematocrit is not capitalized. I know docs make up words all the time, but according to all of my books, no capitalization for hematocrit at all. Hope that helps you.

The elderly patient had elevated troponin and mental status change. S/L dictator is saying patient was treated for possible "enstemmie" ??? (He said this twice during discharge summary and both times sounded like "enstemmie"?? Thanks for any help.

is this acceptable in a report, or would you type it out. It is not a verbatim account and not in assessment/impression/diagnosis. TIA
hematocrit capitalization
Subject: hematocrit capitalization
I swear I read somewhere that Hematocrit should be capitalized. I know Hemoccult is capitalized, but......have I lost my mind? Did anyone else ever run across Hematocrit being capped. For the reason that machinery in the lab is called Hematocrit and therefore they are defaulting to capitalizing it? If not, I am dreaming about transcription and making up rules (again hahaha)

How to type hematocrit measurement

How do you type a hematocrit measurement when they say

Hemoglobin and hematocrit are like 14 and 42.....hematocrit is supposed to be about 3 times the hemoglobin.......so I presume dictator is speaking about the hematocrit....and so if the hematocrit is 36 then the hemoglobin is 11-12........and these are slightly low...
hence, anemia.......
