is this acceptable in a report, or would you type it out. It is not a verbatim account and not in assessment/impression/diagnosis. TIA

According to my lab book, hematocrit is not capitalized. I know docs make up words all the time, but according to all of my books, no capitalization for hematocrit at all. Hope that helps you.

hematocrit capitalization
Subject: hematocrit capitalization
I swear I read somewhere that Hematocrit should be capitalized. I know Hemoccult is capitalized, but......have I lost my mind? Did anyone else ever run across Hematocrit being capped.
