Subject: Elevated white count
I'm working on a Discharge Summary and the Dr. says "The white count was elevated to 18,200 from which 50% were s/l "run". That doesn't make sense to me what could this word be?

elevated white count
Subject: elevated white count
Can anyone help me? My report is on a person diagnosed with bacterial endocarditis, with progressive respiratory failure, pneumomediastinum and 103F temperature. an x-ray showed air under the high diaphragm. the white count was elevated to 18,200 from which 50% were (s/l) run. Am I hearing correct? Also, an EGD showed several s/l "oon takes" in the stomach. If you can help me I would appreciate it. Thanks

Elevated bilirubin disease?
Subject: Elevated bilirubin disease?
I cannot find this disease since I am not sure what the first few letters clearly are, maybe a French name, again not sure. The patient has an elevated bilirubin, abdominal pain and vomiting. The doc suspects this disease rather than an obstruction. The disease s/l Jobear's or Joulbar's or Yolbear's.

I think you're looking for Gilbert syndrome. A French pronunciation would sound like what you're hearing. It's an error in bilirubin metabolism.
