apostrophe 's? - dawn

Tinel's and Phalen's are negative.

Yes on both - rj

because the actual terms are:
Phalen's sign and Tinel's sign (or test). So to just say Phalen's or Tinel's is a shortening of the term, and the apostrophes should remain.

thank you rj - dawn

It is either Tinel sign or Tinel's.

It is either Phalen maneuver or Phalen's.

I personally use Tinel sign and Phalen maneuver.

The doctor states: Though I did not mention the words, â��sudden cardiac death,â�� that is certainly my concern. Should I put quotation marks around those words like it is or a single apostrophe or just type it without any punctuation? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! ...
