s/l DATA
Subject: s/l DATA
Doc says..also brings with her numerous labs including labs showing borderline....s/l DATA... levels.
She kind of stumbles over this and I could not find anything on DATA or data levels so I was going to flag it. She then goes on to say....She tried oral...s/l DATA without success.
It is pretty clear the second time but I cannot find anything on this. Is this correct and would it be all CAPS?
Thanks.
