No, don't cap gram-negative. The test Gram stain is capitalized - per Stedmans Inf Dis Book. -s

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.

Dear anon
Subject: Dear anon
It seems that some people have nothing better to with their time but to post and point out what they think are mistakes. Perhaps YOU confused a ligitimate question with sarcasm. Perhaps it is YOU who needs to go back and "study" manners before YOU jump to conclusions.
Why would a man need a tampon?....= a ligitimate question.
Why would a man need a tampon, you moron!....= condescending.
Try in the future to read a question as it is written rather than pointing a bony finger.
This board is here for HELP; not for you to act as if you know it all. If you do know the answer, then post the answer, assist your fellow MTs and shut up rather than tell people they need to study more.

I am very aware of the definitions, however, the doctor was CLEARLY saying EFFUSION, therefore, I felt it necessary to verify, just in case this was something that maybe I was not familiar with. So, thanks for nothing there anon!! It was a simple question. Answer it or don't, but keep your smart remarks to yourself.

Gray bad?
Just wondering, has the rule changed in that gray must by abbreviated to Gy? Nothing in the BOS2. Nothing in CP. Account is verbatum. Doc says clearly gray, and since I have been typing him for 3 years, it has never been changed. QA had changed gray to Gy in an otherwise flawless report that I don't know why was sent to QA to begin with (this dictator isn't under 100% review and neither am I). Am I missing something, or is this QA on a power trip. I love QA and they do wonderful stuff, but, there are some who...well...may need to remove their heads from their bum.

Your point? Obviously you have never looked the words up. They are interchangeable. In other words, they both mean the same thing, according to Websters Universal Dictionary.
