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:

hope this helps in future! Also, when looking up, try putting in all but one of the letters in the abbrev.

Basically, I'm looking for a broad range of websites to help with the following categories: Medications, Words, Anatomy/Disease, Dictionaries, and Physician/Healthcare Facility names.
Any help would you can provide will be greatly appreciated!

Drug Names - Websites???
Subject: Drug Names - Websites???
 I hope you all can help! I am in search of a good website to distinguish drug names. I am looking specifically to be able to distinguish brand names from generic and am interested in which should be capitalized, and which not? Any good sites out there that aren't all lists with all drug names starting in caps even though they shouldn't be?

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!
