Agent Orange - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
You're very welcome.

Agent Orange is actually the code name for a chemical concoction that was developed by Monsanto and Dow, and was used by U.S. military, most notably over in Vietnam. Very very nasty stuff. But since it's a code name, like a brand name, it's capitalized.

Since When Is Neurology Service Capitalized?
Mar 03, 2014

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.  ...
