It is CK-MB in my abbrev. book. But if you find it both ways from a reputable source, maybe you could appeal to have the points taken off that one.

GI MT weighs in...for what it's worth:)
Subject: GI MT weighs in...for what it's worth:)
I type lab results a lot in my clinic notes and I would go with GGT, although I transcribe it as gamma-glutamyl transferase.
I haven't stumbled across anything for GDT, or GBT, or GDP, or anything close in Stedman's GI & GU words or in Stedman's Pathology & Lab medicine words.
Let us know if you are able to get feedback from your doctor regarding the correct term:) I'm interested to see how this pans out.

bladder reflection - my 2 cents worth
Subject: bladder reflection - my 2 cents worth
In Dorland's "reflection" means a bending or turning back. I have typed the expression often and am not truly sure how to explain it, but something like where the bladder is bent or folded onto the abdominal wall - as a location. Below is an excert from Google. What comes up in the notes I have is the following expression:
The anterior leaflet of the broad ligament on both sides was then incised along the bladder reflection to the midline from both sides and the bladder was gently dissected
The reflection of bladder on to the anterior abdominal wall is identified and the peritoneum divided at this position

I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN. Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading. Hope that helps!
