Subject: both are accepted...
I think ultimately it depends on the client, but my company prefers that the 's is left off.
here is an excerpt from my company's stand on it...
AAMT first advocated dropping the possessive form of eponyms in 1990.
We adopted this standard because it promotes consistency and clarity.
More recently, The AMA Manual of Style (1998), Stedman's Medical Dictionary (2000), and Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary (2000), have acknowledged the trend away from the possessive form.
It is important to note, however, that use of the possessive form remains an acceptable alternative if dictated and/or if indicated as the preference by employer or client.
Apgar score
Babinski sign
Down syndrome
Gram stain
Hodgkin lymphoma
In awkward constructions, such as when the noun following the eponym is omitted, the possessive form becomes preferred.
The patient's husband suffers from Alzheimer's.

Tendo and tendinitis are both accepted, it all depends on your doc dictating.
Subject: Tendo and tendinitis are both accepted, it all depends on your doc dictating.
Many years ago, I typed tendonitis on a report and the orthopod almost pecked me to the wall and said it was "tendinitis" and that is what he wanted to see in his reports. Other docs prefer tendonitis..sooo....as far as the rule goes, spell it like the client wants it typed (they both mean the same thing).

I hope I don't end up looking like a fool for posting this, but....
I have done more of this docs files that ANYONE elses... and I have never heard her say this before... "one q. day to p.a.p." she says it twice on two different meds. She is always VERY easy to understand. It's definitely not b.i.d. or t.i.d. Does p.a.p. or t.a.p. exist? I have googled all over the place and even had another MT listen to the file. (please don't rake me over the coals... I'm a newbie - haha)

Help with term used in OB/GYN report
Subject: Help with term used in OB/GYN report
This is from a laparoscopically assisted total vaginal hysterectomy with right salpingo-oophorectomy:
The procedure was commenced on the patient’s left side, where the tripolar forceps were used to cauterize and cut the tube proximally. The uteroovarian ligament was then clamped with the tripolar and then cut once it had been completely desiccated. The broad ligament was then taken serially in the same manner. The round ligament was taken down. Ocupuration was used to create a bladder flap, which was then taken across the midline with Metzenbaum laparoscopic scissors.
I've checked my Stedman's OB/GYN, but I do not find my answer there and can't seem to find it googling either. Anyone have any ideas?
