How about if a patient is taking "melatonin", should this be capitalized?

Capitalization
Isn't it true that you would only capitalized the acutal name of the clinic and not the speciality of the clinic?
Capitalization
Thanks to all. I did not mean to yell, just forgot the rules. My BOS is on the way. Again, thank you.
CAPITALIZATION ???
I am just brain dead this morning. I took a test and was not sure about the cap rules.
Should "operating room" and "patient holding area" be capitalized.
Thank you
Capitalization will not hold!
I need to type VENTILATION PERFUSION SCAN as a heading. But when the capital letter lock key is on and I type in vps to bring up the three words in all caps, my IT changes it to small case.
Does anyone out there know how to make all caps remain all caps? I have auto capitalization check marked already.
Thanks soooo much if you can answer this!
Capitalization of Cardiology
I was taught (and it is required by my company) that you capitalize a word not usually capitalized when it is used as an entity as it is in your example (used to mean someone in the cardiology dept). A good example is when a doc says "An orogastric tube was placed by Anesthesia" you would capitalize anesthesia, as it refers to a person and not "the thing" of anesthesia. If not capitalized, it calls to mind some kind of anesthesia (endotrachial, perhaps?) placing the orogastric tube. Capitlizing it adds clarity.
Holiday Greeting Capitalization Question.
I need help with capitalization! In letters, should I capitalize it when the doc says, "I hope you have a happy holiday season." Happy Holiday Season instead? or if they say, "I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year." Should I capitalize Merry Christmas and Happy New Year? I couldn't find anything on this in the AAMT BOS. 
clinic capitalization QA dispute question
I recently had two different QA people give me two different answers to a capitalization problem regarding clinic names. What are the rules for capitalizing clinics and specialties? If the doctor dictates, "The patient will be seen in the Cardiac Clinic . . . ." do you capitalize those two words? I have one QA saying yes, one saying no. If the doctor dictates, "The patient was seen by Cardiology . . . " do you capitalize "cardiology"? Again, one QA says yes, one says no. TIA
