Subject: anybody hear of a zank smear?? see sentence
He is unfortunately far beyond our being able to do zank smears, IFAs, PCRs, or cultures off of the primary lesions. Should we turn up a herpes type 2 lesions, we will at least broach the issue of hepatitis testing, in addition to HIV testing.

I would have to disagree with you on that one and haven't seen a company yet accept it that way. The norm is followup for noun and follow up or follow-up for a verb. What I'm trying to find is a REAL rule for this somewhere in some book.
Nope, don't think it was either of those....
Subject: Nope, don't think it was either of those....
I just sent it to QA and was gratified to see they had no clue either so the blank got sent on to the client. Guess whatever it was he mangled it beyond recognition LOL. Thanks for the suggestions though!

If no species is mentioned, it doesn't get the capital letter. I think this information is in BOS, 2nd Edition, in case you forget again.
Gets capital letter only if species is mentioned.

Sounds more like pre-aPROping. I wouldn't be shocked if he was trying to say something as simple as "poking"...you should hear him try to stumble through a list of meds.
