....an "acute abdomen series." It is three plain x-rays - one of the abdomen with the patient flat (lying down), one of the abdomen with the patient standing upright, and a third x-ray of the chest to include the diaphragms (also with patient upright) so they can see if there is free air under the diaphragm (which can happen with bowel perforation in cases of diverticulitis, Crohn's, or other bowel diseases).

Thanks, but my physician mumbles it so fast that I cannot make out if it is "hold and call" or "hold, on call."

PS -Did you think to call a pharmacy? sm
Subject: PS -Did you think to call a pharmacy? sm
This is what I did when something like this comes up. I know they want you to use the slightest amount possible, and usually never prescribe more than a small tube at a time. This is a very huge amount. I find pharmacists usually are very helpful if you don't ask them more than a few times a year. I would rather do this than say "a pound," just picture it in your head - that's a lot.

What is considered normal and appropriate.. if the doctor usually says things or an expressoin a certain way and this expression is on my autocorrect is it okay for me to type it in that way (with my autocorrect) if he changes around the sentence but it really means the same thing anyway. Also, how much is it acceptable to change what he says.
