hemoccult--to capitalize or not?
Subject: hemoccult--to capitalize or not?
"The examination was hemoccult-negative." I remember getting this wrong in training. Is "hemoccult" capitalized or is it only capitalized if it's used in a brand name situation, like "Hemoccult strips"? I seem to remember it being sort of like kleenex, like "Give me a kleenex" was not capped but "Kleenex tissue" as a brand name was. Or I could just be wrong. Help!!

kynephness/hemoccult consult
Subject: kynephness/hemoccult consult
Could you give a little more information? Where there any other symptoms relative to the stool character? Any other positive findings in GI tract (ROS, physical exam or lab)? Diagnosis? What was the exact content surrounding the patient's "consult"ing the Hemoccult card? In a long stretch, an MD might "consult" the Hemoccult card by viewing it directly, but the patient is smearing it with stool and submitting it.

....I type in what it sounds like, or leave a blank if I was told to type verbatum? In the past I did only Rad for a small hospital, and we always put what it sounded like because that's what the docs preferred. I suspect this isn't the norm. Am I right?

I am not familiar with what ACT is, but I am fairly certain this is what he says, but I cannot document it either. Would appreciate any help with this.

Audiometric testing help
Subject: Audiometric testing help
The doctor is dictating (he is a terrible mumbler) a letter to an attorney about a hearing test for a patient.
"Testing performed on Dec. 13 the ?4 frequency average ???? 2000, 3000 cycles in the right ear....."
I don't know what he is saying before 2000, it kind of sounds like the word "found" and then something else that is more mumbling. Also, do I type the number 4 or should I type the word four?
I appreciate any replies.

She's not testing. She has stated before that she's
Subject: She's not testing. She has stated before that she's
new to the field but has been doing ortho so far. She is now doing some family practice.  We were all new once right?  If you read all the posts she even thought she could not post so often, which is not true. You can post as many times as you like I would think. I don't remember reading any rules stating you cannot. I think they just like you to try to stick to the appropriate subject boards accordingly.  I only try to post answers to word help questions if I'm pretty sure. If I'm not sure then I usually don't reply with anything at all.  I had to put my 2 cents in here though being another MT who does have a lot of experience but likes to learn from others as well.
