Subject: No, not a medical record, but it is being put
While I realize it is the OP's responsibility to doublecheck whatever answers received here, and it's fine to be lazy in any other posts on the board, but IMO, it's still a good idea to give correct answers -- spelling, capitalization, and all -- when providing word help. Otherwise, if the OP is also "lazy" it will end up in a medical record the wrong way. Not major in this case, but could be in others ...
Just my opinion, of course.

I have Stedman's medical spellchecker installed and it will automatically cap the ones that are brand names and leave uncapped the generic ones. Very rarely do I have to check on line to see.
