Steri-Strip question
Subject: Steri-Strip question
need some feedback on "Steri-Stripped" - I have always done "Steri-Strip'd," but I question it every time - just wanted to see how everyone else does it.
Steri-Strip is the brand name (see link with picture)

It is really hard to tell though if they are using the brand name. I usually just put "Steri-strips".

Either steri-stripped or recast sentence
Subject: Either steri-stripped or recast sentence
When you change the form of a proper name it is not capitalized. For example, bovied, kocherized, steri-stripped, etc. That being said, I would recast the sentence, if allowed, to say Steri-Strips were applied.

You should capitalize name brands

I know it is hard to tell which is which, but you may have to look up some for a while. Make a handwritten list or add them to your expander. I had the same trouble years ago, but have since tried to keep it straight.
Generic/Name Brands
I'm trying to perfect my knowledge for capitalization of generic and name brand medications.
Anybody have any tips - besides looking every single one up and memorizing which are capitalized and which are not?

portal?
Subject: portal?
Portal sites
Subject: Portal sites
You heard it right. In Orthopedics, you'll come across the procedure of "arthroscopy" quite a bit. The Ortho surgeon makes small incisions called "portals", through one of which he inserts the scope to look inside the joint, and through the others he inserts other instruments as needed for cutting, shaving, biopsies, etc. Once he completes the procedure, he closes those incisions which become the "portal sites" that he is talking about. He obviously is checking during the followup visit to see if there is any infection at the incision sites.
