sentence drug help? I have a new doctor, and I do not know how to put her sentences..

I was just wondering if anybody out there knows how to switch back and forth between capitalizing the first letter of sentences and not capitalizing. This is a problem when I go to type H. pylori or C. difficile, because it keeps capitalizing the "Pylori" and "Difficile". Of course, I asked Support, but they said there was no way to change it. I just wondered how you guys handle this. Appreciate any help!! ...

I am transcribing a list of drugs in a report, and it sounds like the doctor is saying "Verelan SR." I can't seem to find a listing for Verelan SR anywhere. Could he be saying the name of another drug? Is the SR part nonexistent for Verelan now? This is the context: "For hypertension, she is on Avapro 300 mg daily, Verelan (SR) 240 mg daily, and Lasix 80 mg daily. Her blood pressures are generally under 130/80." This patient has type 2 diabetes, if that helps any. ...

Are they sadistic or something. Why do we put u ...

I'm transcribing a dictation by an Asian doctor and I'm unsure what to do with this sentence. I'm pretty sure it is exactly what he is saying. "...drainage from her right ear 2-3 days ago.
