Docs mispronounce words all the time. 99% of my docs say Perm-a-Cath, but it is PermCath. Docs spell things and spell them wrong all the time. One of our jobs as MTs is to know enough to know doc is saying/spelling something incorrectly and correct it.

I use google 24/7 but then you must double-check where the information is actually coming from, a legitimate (NIH) medical website or a bulletin board or some website that isn't regulated by any medical group, understand? I remember first googling Spironolactone and google had it misspelled! So, I make sure the info is coming from rxlst.com or drugs.com or any govt-regulated site....
Hope that helps. Orthopedics was my first field 29 years ago and it's always been patellofemoral, all relating to what you described while asking about patellAfemoral (as I know it, no such word with the a).

but was unable to find a solid form of albuterol, although I am sure that I have seen a gel like substance to be placed in a nebulizer. I know that albuterol is a crystalline powder though and is soluable in water. Perhaps that is what I was thinking. sorry for the misconception on my part. Thanks for making me aware of it.

I know a lot of folks diss it but it's helpful in settling these kinds of nagging questions that one gets (I don't know about you, but I start overthinking at about my 6th hour in....)
Anyway, here goes:
1. See the Joint Commission list of dangerous abbreviatinos here: http://www.jointcommission.org/PatientSafety/DoNotUseList
I didn't realize cc was on there as a "don't do" until I got one when I changed jobs!
And no apostrophe with capped abbreviations, so it's WBCs.
2. q.p.m., I believe.
4. not capped.
5. no hyphen for "non" and other common prefixes. Use good current dictionary as a guide.
6. No comma
7. no colon in military time
8. Unless facility prefers otherwise, lowercase generic and cap brand. No shortcuts, I'm afraid, other than perhaps a good spellchecker or expander.
Hope that helps. Like I said, an AAMT Book of Style is helpful in these kinds of things, though obviously facility preferences take precedence.
