When are disorders capitalized?
Subject: When are disorders capitalized?
I capitalize them when they are in the diagnosis, but if they are generally talking about it in the body of the report, like,
"I explained to Mom that obsessive-compulsive disorder would be difficult to assess."
Is it Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in that case?
Thanks

You might have John Doe, M.D. in the address info, but doctor dictates "Dear Johnny." Is this what you mean? If that's the case, I would type it as he says it, as he may have a friendly relationship with him in addition to his professional relationship.
On the other hand, if he's dictating a personal nickname, like "Puddin", you should probably use the other name. :)

Subject: Tendo and tendinitis are both accepted, it all depends on your doc dictating.
Many years ago, I typed tendonitis on a report and the orthopod almost pecked me to the wall and said it was "tendinitis" and that is what he wanted to see in his reports. Other docs prefer tendonitis..sooo....as far as the rule goes, spell it like the client wants it typed (they both mean the same thing).
