It is melenic.
Subject: It is melenic.
Melanotic is a word but it pertains to melanin or skin pigment. Melenic pertains to melena or black stool. Note the As and Es. Many doctors use this term incorrectly, and many MTs too! I always change it.

Subject: FYI-AAMT BOS, edition 2
 Just thought I would pass on some information recently sent to me.
AAMT BOS (Book of Style), 2nd edition
periods
Do not use periods within or at the end of most abbreviations, including acronyms, abbreviated units of measure, and brief forms. Use a period at the end of abbreviated English units of measure if they may be misread without the period. Better still, write out most English units of measure, thereby avoiding this use of a period at the end of an abbreviation.
wbc
WBC
mg
exam
prep
inch preferred to in. (Do not use in meaning inch without a period.)
However, use periods in lowercase drug-related abbreviations.
b.i.d.
q.4 h. = note it is "q.4" and then a space before the "h."
p.o.
p.r.n.
If a sentence terminates with an abbreviation that requires a period, do not add another period.
He takes Valium 5 mg q.a.m.
not He takes Valium 5 mg q.a.m..
plurals
Use a lowercase s without an apostrophe to form the plural of capitalized abbreviations, acronyms, and brief forms.
EEGs
PVCs
CABGs
exams
Use 's to form the plural of lowercase abbreviations.
rbc's
Use 's to form the plural of single-letter abbreviations.
X's
Hyphens and adjectives
15-year-old boy
The patient is a 33-year-old.
2-year 5-month-old child (note no comma in this)
5-1/2-year-old girl

.38-caliber pistol - note no leading zero here - see below

I don't know if you guys follow BOS rules but...
per BOS page 150 "When generic name and brand name of a medication sound alike, use the generic spelling unless it is certain that the brand name is being referenced." (Therefore, use KCl.)
Also per BOS p 461 Dangerous Abbreviations "Use complete spelling for drug names." (Therefore, use potassium chloride!) ?

I'd stick with the national standard for clarity's sake unless instructed to stringently follow BOS. There is staging that is very involved and would look convoluted without spacing in my opinion; i.e, pT2a pN3 MX, etc.

under needle there is BD spinal and right under that is Beath and a little further down is Beeth.
I understand for verying and yes, it is confusing when you see it spelled 2 different ways, but I do type Ortho reports on a daily basis and I have been told Beath. Also when I Google Beath needle there is a section under Shoulder Arthroscopy, books.google.com and the article is highlighting Beath pin and then Beath needle is there. This might help for verification.
