Subject: and to educate you a little bit more...

an MT or QA person (who has no experience in lab)only know that they were taught as far as transcription.

YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY :P

Sentence reads:

Smear was reviewed and showed macrocytes, occasional macrocytic cells, but not hyperchromic, occasional basophilic stippling, a few polys with 4-5 lobes but none with more than 5 lobes and less than 20% has 5 lobes, no granulation of her polys, no S/L Pelletier-Hewett cells?

She is talking like her pants are on fire, so it is hard to decipher any of this...

Thank you
