Subject: I am having a very hard time with this one.
There is so much in this report that I cannot understand. Truly, I'm wondering if this doctor starts speaking in his native language sometimes.
Here's what I've got
Her weight s/l "1 per 1980." Blood pressure controlled 130/80. Color is fair. Throat is s/l "cold." Thyroid tissue on palpation. Lungs clear.
I wish I could ask for help on the next sentence too, but I cannot make out one single word in it!!

... because they put this patient on 1 baby aspirin a day, which I thought was to thin the blood. I actually ended up asking a doc at the hospital where I work, and he seemed to indicate that there wasn't really any "hypocoagulable workup" -- it was more like "bleeding studies." There is a "hypercoagulable workup" which is extensively discussed on the net, but this patient with the bleeding may be more a candidate for the bleeding studies. However, from what I have read on the net, the tests that are done for a "hypercoagulable workup" are the ones which are being ordered for this patient. Sigh. I'm going to change it to hypercoagulable, and mark it just in case. Thanks for your input.
