Okay, where is the best place on line to find a listing of generic/Brand names for drugs? It is hard to find a website that lists the proper lower/upper case info.

Subject: In broad generalizations, brand names are catchy and easy to say, generics often are not..sm
Brand names..Avapro, Motrin, Aleve, Bentyl, Rescon, Comtrex, Toradol...easy to pronounce, spelling makes sense, sound like a shiny corporate marketing group named them (which they did).
Generics...celecoxib, lazabemide, dexormaplatin, praziquantel... look and sound like a bunch of syllables randomly thrown together.
With experience you'll recognize the common suffixes of generics...-mide,-cillin, -olone, -xime.
But, really, it's just lots and lots of repetition of seeing, looking up, hearing, and typing them hundreds of times.
Any way you can work it into your spellcheck and/or macro program is the best help you can give yourself.

names of fingers
Subject: names of fingers
I have always heard the index finger referred to as the trigger finger. Based on the assumption, the trigger/index finger is different than the ring finger. I have never heard any other finger referred to with that label, but that doesn't mean I am right.

Subject: names of fingers
The doctor is referring to the condition "trigger finger", not the index finger. He is saying she has right ring trigger finger. Meaning that finger most likely catches or locks down with movement. I had it also and they surgically released it.

List of Genus Names?
Does anyone know where to find a list of genus names and species? This is probably stupid of me, but do all genera have various species? I know when standing alone the genus name should be lower case, but when I come across a bacterial-sounding name, I am not sure what to do with it sometimes and cannot always tell from my web search.
For example: staphylococcus when alone is not capped, but I really feel lost in this area.  Can anyone help?
Thx!

You can get a ganglion cyst in almost any joint. If it's wrist, "fat pad" could be correct, but it seems unlikely.
