What should be capitalized?

we sent him immediately to radiology and will speak with mrs. farrel when she arrives.
Answer:
We sent him immediately to Radiology and will speak with Mrs. Farrel when she arrives.
Note: there is a rule related to departments that is very unique to medical transcription. Doctors will often refer to a specialty as an entity in and of itself, encompassing the building, the people, and the department all in one. (therefore the capital letter)

Right. And thanks for the clarification of Radiology. I was wondering about it until I saw your note.

When it comes to capitalization, there are certain rules to follow. In the given example, "Radiology" and "Mrs. Farrel" should be capitalized.

In general, capitalize the following:
1. The first word of a sentence: "We sent him immediately..."
2. Proper nouns (names of specific people, places, or things): "Radiology" refers to a specific department in this context.
3. Titles before a person's name: "Mrs." is a title and should be capitalized when used before a name, such as "Mrs. Farrel."

Additionally, the capitalization of "Radiology" in this example may be due to a specific rule in medical transcription. In the medical field, departments are often referred to as entities in their own right, which may require capitalization. However, this rule may vary across different styles and contexts.

Remember to always consult the specific style guide, grammar rules, or industry conventions when determining what should be capitalized.
