maybe "retic" for reticulocyte count? - nm

reticulocyte
Subject: reticulocyte

My guess judging from your lab value is that he is saying 'retic' count. Most labs have normal ranges that top off around 2.0 for reticulocyte counts, so that would make sense. 1.9 would be pretty low for an RBC value.

I wanted to move this program to a new computer but I see this program is no longer available.  Does anyone have the executable file for this program?  I wasn't sure if the new upgraded version works the same as the old and I really like the old program.  Thanks for any help you can give me.
