kynephness/hemoccult consult

Posted By: txtype on 2008-04-09
In Reply to: S/L Kynephness - Linda

Subject: kynephness/hemoccult consult

Could you give a little more information?  Where there any other symptoms relative to the stool character?  Any other positive findings in GI tract (ROS, physical exam or lab)?  Diagnosis?  What was the exact content surrounding the patient's "consult"ing the Hemoccult card?  In a long stretch, an MD might "consult" the Hemoccult card by viewing it directly, but the patient is smearing it with stool and submitting it.

hemoccult--to capitalize or not?
Subject: hemoccult--to capitalize or not?

"The examination was hemoccult-negative."  I  remember getting this wrong in training.  Is "hemoccult" capitalized or is it only capitalized if it's used in a brand name situation, like "Hemoccult strips"? I seem to remember it being sort of like kleenex, like "Give me a kleenex" was not capped but "Kleenex tissue" as a brand name was. Or I could just be wrong. Help!!
