Subject: gram-negative, lactose-negative rods is correct. I found a couple of interesting websites SM
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.

Endo-Judge
Subject: Endo-Judge
Does anyone know if 'Endo-Judge' is a legitimate surgical tool? Doctors where I work have dictated it and it shows up in many reports usually for cholecystectomy but I cannot find any evidence that there is such a thing. I know there is Endo GIA but I don't want to put that if it is wrong and there is indeed an Endo-Judge. Thanks for any help you can give me!

In cholecystectomy, Dr. uses Endo Clips but what is the correct way to transcribe "the duct was endo-clipped"? (Endo Clipped??--just doesnt look right). Thanks so much for any help.
