Subject: "cc" is a possible future listing in JCAHO "do not use list" sm
JCAHO requires its members to follow an official "do not use list" and "cc" is being considered for possible future inclusion in the JCAHO "do not use list" to be replaced by "mL" because it can be misread as U or unit when poorly WRITTEN...typing it is not as problematic but I go ahead and change it to mL to encourage dictators to make the "mental shift" away from "cc" ...hope that helps! see this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medical_abbreviations

Lab tests done at your office on 08/01/07 indicated a free T4 of 4.36 (0.8 to 1.9), T3 was 390 (72 to 170), and a TSH of less than 0.01. A WBC count was slightly low at 3.5 (3.9 to 11.3), hemoglobin was 12.5, hematocrit 37.6, _____ of 77 (80 to 102).
The blank sounds like LEV-IN AND CBU of 77.
??? any thoughts on what lab value this could be based on the normal range of 80 to 102? thanks.
