WBC is 10,000 with 49% s/l PM ents, 39% bands, 5% lymphs, 5% monos, 1% eosinophils, and the MCB (membranous cystoplasmic body???) was 74.
Not sure what the first percent is measuring (49% s/l PM ents), and I've never heard of MCB.

Help. Patient has polyuria. Doctor dictates: Urine osmolality and electrolytes pending. He starts new sentence: s/l Dis person sent out differential on polyuria and possibility of obligatory polyuria secondary to chronic potassium loss. Any ideas on what "Dis person" or what the rest of the sentence might be? Thanks.

I think it would take a lot of context or experienced ear to listen to take a stab at this one. Could be an abbreviation such as PCP or an abbreviation of some local health clinic or something. For some reason the first thing that popped into my mind was CDC, as in Center for Disease Control, although I don't know if they give out drugs. With it being 5 drugs and the term "given", I was thinking AIDS, and then who might give those drugs to impoverished patients. But then again, maybe the patient had cancer and was given a 5-drug cancer regimen by some local cancer center. Can you see why context is sooooo important?
