Your reference is British. Note the spellings of centre, etc. Check Vera Pyle's book and Dorland's Medical Dictionary and also the American Medical Association reference for making nouns out of proper names. Our own BOS states not to capitalize words derived from eponyms.

I can't remember how long it took me to be able to type at a 1:2 ratio since I have been doing this for about 15 years. However, I do know that it took me longer than 3 to 4 months, especially since I was looking everything up in reference books to double check my spelling as I didn't go to school for medical transcription. Maybe someone else has a better idea. I DO remember being frustrated that it was taking me so long to finish a tape (back when I did tapes, LOL!).
