I need help editing my paper for submission to a medical journal

I've done it all by myself...no one at work wanted to get involved.One of the doctors will cosign so I will be more likely to be published. it is the first of its kind in nursing articles...I want to sound semi-literate.

In MLA form.

Thank you all so much...be honest.

Is this what you want, or content or how it flows? I can nitpick.


Un-cap Epilepsy and Units in first sentence.

End of 1st paragraph SUDEP should have the longer words with SUDEP in parenthesis followed by use of acronym. I see it defined in the first sentence of paragraph 2 though.

"Pacemakers for the brain. Uncap pacemakers or is this standard?

1st paragraph "Level Four treatment centers", later is "Level Four Center" and "Level Four center", match caps throughout.

post-itcal and postitcally

Epilepsy Patients, uncap after Conclusions begins, or cap all.

And yay for nurses! Good job and hope you get published.
