one symptom is listed as purple "striae" on the skin. Since it appears your second word is grouped wiht labs he wants done, some lab tests listed are for urinary cortisol, plasma cortisol, neutrophilia, lymphopenia, hyperglycemia, hyperlipedemia, hypokalemia. Anything there ringing a bell?

Subject: kynephness/hemoccult consult
Could you give a little more information? Where there any other symptoms relative to the stool character? Any other positive findings in GI tract (ROS, physical exam or lab)? Diagnosis? What was the exact content surrounding the patient's "consult"ing the Hemoccult card? In a long stretch, an MD might "consult" the Hemoccult card by viewing it directly, but the patient is smearing it with stool and submitting it.
