Subject: ICAR?
I can't find anything with that abbreviation. Your best bet is to find the web site for that hospital and see if they have a list of their units or departments.

Correct expansion of CPK
Subject: Correct expansion of CPK
CPK stands for CREATINE phosphokinase. Use of CREATININE phosphokinase to stand for CPK is a common mistake made by many docs and MTs. I don't think a CPK level would be a first-round test for fatigue.

experience is, it lacks credibility especiall when you base it on YOUR experience. Who are you? How much experience do you actually have? What kind of experience do you have? How many diabetic patients have you encountered in your years of experience?
You can't expect to make a sweeping generalization like "all diabetics have hypertension" and not get called out on it. Come on! Know your place. Arrogance is an unattactive personality trait.

Subject: "Ortho RICE" -- from an emergency department nurse practitioner
very annoying young woman who says in her "Plan": ortho RICE ... I've googled but I can't find this as an "entity" -- I know was RICE is -- but usually she has not mentioned any form of "compression", so in my irritation I've just been leaving it at RICE ... would you spell it out or leave abbreviated? Ditto BRAT diet which can be banana, rice, apple sauce/apple juice + tea/toast so I leave it at BRAT.

Subject: Don't know what type of expansion program you use...sm
but since mibi is usually the part heard, make an expansion with that, then you will be able to see that word that is on the tip of your tongue. I do that with certain medications, instruments and procedures that I often forget. I make the expansion from what I usually hear, then sometimes back it up with a better description of the correct term. Good thing the expansion programs have a lot of memory cause my brain seems to get overloaded or just downright DUH some days! Glad we could help you!
