Ida Smith
became Iron Deficiency Anemia Smith. Gotta be careful for what those shortcuts might say! Changed that one REAL fast.
were and Dr. Smith
minutes is plural - subject/verb agreement.
Dr. Smith - possessive not necessary because it is already denoted in the phrase "patient of", i.e. Dr. Smith's patient or patient of Dr. Smith.
was and Smith's
BOS page 377: Use a singular verb when referring to a total amount of time, money, or quantity. Therefore 45 minutes (total amount of time) was spent, and 20 mEq was given.
BOS page 328: Some idiomatic expressions use the possessive form appropriately, a patient of Dr. Smith's.

Has anyone seen Shepard Smith from
fox today? He's looked really worn down the last few days and I can understand why, but haven't seen him at all today. Yesterday he almost lost it a few times on tv and wondering if they brought him home for rest.
Smith, Mr. John

WAS and Dr. Smith's, (comma)
just my 2 cents, but I think it's right.
Bowel or bladder Smith
Smith Mountain Lake!!!
Just outside of Roanoke, Virginia - the MOST relaxing place on Earth.
Our family has been going to Smith Mountain for over 40 years!

Have you tried the Drs. Foster and Smith veterinary website?
Great site!
I hope your doggie's feeling better soon.
Some boxes, like Mrs. Smith's pies, say distributed by
Schwann company in So. Carolina, but they are all made in Mexico (my cousin is long distance truck driver, sees them transferring the boxes from 1 truck to another.) Fig Newtons made in Mexico. Big problem with the border guards from US because their uniforms and ID badges made in Mexico and many of them are stolen or sold in Mexico which allows access of illegals into US. Nothing is made in US anymore.
Anna Nicole Smith's son died yesterday (sm)
I don't know circumstances but that is so sad. Her daughter was just born a few days ago. Then to have her son die just days after that. I can't imagine what a roller coaster of emotions that would be. I know that Anna Nicole is over the top, but she seemed to love her son very much. Very sad.
Dr. Smith in Miami would be easy to find; it's Dr. Rodriguez
