Also, I worked in a lab for many years, and gram-negative and gram-positive are not capitalized. Gram is the name of the doctor or scientist who came up with the staining test, Gram stain, so that is capped.

after doing a google search for gram-negative, lactose-negative rods.  Basically testing organisms to see if they ferment lactose (positive) or not (negative).


Also, just FYI, gram-negative is not capitalized.


Probably too late, I'm sure.  Better late than never, I guess.

I have an email in to my supe to clarify this, but how do you transcribe "gram-negative" in a report?


Capitalized or not?


I have done it both ways and have been counted off each time for it, so I am looking for a little clarity here!


TIA!

I know I'm a little old lady who is very fixed in my ways, but do I need to type this phrase with a capital G? I guess if I must I will, but it looks strange to me. Got QA'd on it and lost some points. Tx.

In steadman ortho, the only time it refers to draw test is a foot/ankle test for subtalar motion.  Otherwise, they only have drawer test, not draw.  I have never heard draw used for the knee, and I have been doing ortho for about 6 years now.

Stedman's Ortho - plantarflexion
Subject: Stedman's Ortho - plantarflexion

Stedman's Orthopaedic & Rehab Words (5th Edition) has it as one word.  I could not find it anywhere in that book as two words.  Personally, this is the way that I have always typed it. 


On the other hand, if you look in Dorland's (31st Edition) under flexion, it says, "plantar flexion."


I am not sure if either way is more accepted over the other.  Perhaps client preference.


Have a nice holiday.
