Good Websites
Subject: Good Websites
Here is a good website that I use for Lab values:
http://www.mtworld.com/tools_resources/lab_values.html
Here is another website that can help you with abbreviations. You can either put in the abbreviation and it will give you all the options for that abbrevation. Or you can put in the definition and it will show you the correct abbreviation:

Subject: NWMNMT:Good grief, good grief, good grief..If this is the case, the doctor should also explain
the meaning in an ADDENDUM.
How do you know what the doctor meant? GOOD GRIEF, are you the know-it-all (hyphens must be put here, as it is used as a noun!) on this board? Get over yourself!
Who understands what it means without an explanation?
The MOST obvious is apparently like I understood it:
5 packs in 1 year.
Maybe the doctor really meant this, 5 packs per year, so essentially a nonsmoker.
GOOD GRIEF, get over yourself!
