Subject: Bet the doctor is reading off the patient's list that sm
the patient wrote him/herself. When they can't tell what it is, they often spell it the way the patient did. I'd leave a blank and make a note with the doctor's spelling if you've already researched the term and found nothing to verify it. I found nothing in my Drake. I never trust a doc's spelling of ANYTHING!!

Unless it is stated 3 mm you cannot assume that it is mm
Subject: Unless it is stated 3 mm you cannot assume that it is mm
According to a very detailed message from my QA department with authoratative references cited, unless the first measure is stated specifically, you are making an assumption that _3_ is mm and cannot assign 3-4 mm. They explained I had to use 3 x 4-mm effusion. There are many units of measure and their point was to assume is not permissible as it could be an error.
