If you spell it out,i.e., Staphylococcus, yes it is capitalized. If you put "staph" it is not.

Robert Reich describes a "race to the bottom" (see article in the link below).

A lot of headache and extra time, which if you made much more might be worth it, but basically it seems you make the same, even less with some companies. To me it seems if you could get your own clients and get the rate that MTSOs get paid, then THAT wo ...

Years back, the name of the service was to be capitalized if they said the patient was seen by Podiatry or the patient was seen by Neurology. But if the patient was seen by the neurology service, it was not capitalized. Why am I being counted off for not capitalizing Neurology Service? It just looks stupid with it capitalized. I feel like I'm dealing with people who don't really know what they are doing. Very frustrating. ...
