In Stedman's I found serous meningitis, maybe that's what he means but is using a variant of the word. In Dorland's I found sterile (aseptic) meningitis. Not sure if it's either of those, but listen again and see if either of those fit.

maybe first s/l is QRS complex? Corrected with IV sounds right, especially because pt continued to receive supplement.

Could "Overreactive lispossum" be "overreactive specimen?"
Originally, I was thinking "overreactive splenism" which I would edit to "overreactive spleen" but diagnoses are usually NOT listed with lab values, except maybe as a statement "consistent with..." so that probaby would be wrong, although abnormal cells listed are found in hypo- and hypersplenism.
In any case, just thoughts for future since this is a day or 2 later than original post.
Also, I saw serocytes in lab terms, and assume it should be "spherocytes." At one of my very first temporary transcription jobs at a laboratory, I had mispelled "spherocytes" and "schistocytes" and doctor whose report I typed had me come back to his office and look at slides to see the cells so I would remember in the future.
Have a great day.
