Subject: Looks like it could be done as GC/Chlamydia (sm)

I had always typed it as "GC and Chlamydia" but then again had nearly always heard an "and" from my docs. However it looks like it's a combo test:

and they have it with a slash, which makes sense.

Capitalization of Chlamydia
Is Chlamydia always capital according to AAMT rules?
RE: Capitalization of Chlamydia
the genus Chlamydia - All genus names should be capitalized. I do agrree with poster Anon.  This is something a transcriptionist should already know.  Book of Style rules would never apply.  This is a Latin term, i.e., genus, therefore is capitalized.  A quick look in a dictionary would have explained this to you.  I am not intending to give you a hard time, but basic transcription knowledge, i.e., research ability, is needed, not just the correct spelling of words.

Subject: s/l Habeeb Technology/Probe

The doctor was dictating an op note, resection of liver mets and RF ablation of liver mets. First he refers to "using Habeeb Technology" and then later he refers to a "Habeeb probe." I checked all my reference books and googled every combination I could imagine until I finally gave up andI sent it on to QA, but cannot check to see what he was saying until this evening, and quite frankly, I am really curious if anyone has heard of this before? He is an ESL so I may be totally off base with it.

Please let me know.  I've done a lot of duplex ultrasounds over the past 5-6 years but I am very "aural" when it comes to dictation - once I see "increment" and have that in my mind, I can't think of anything else.   Anyway, I would like to know what it is in case I run across it.


Thanks!
