the answer was lost. The "q" by itself is a dangerous abbrevision. Refer it to your supervisor as apparently the QA person does know this and, if nothing else, for clarification if they want you to use it.

one symptom is listed as purple "striae" on the skin. Since it appears your second word is grouped wiht labs he wants done, some lab tests listed are for urinary cortisol, plasma cortisol, neutrophilia, lymphopenia, hyperglycemia, hyperlipedemia, hypokalemia. Anything there ringing a bell?

I've been dealing with ESL dictators and I can't decide if they're saying in the PE that "pulse is 79, permanent" or pulse 79 per minute"  Any idea on which is more common?  Thanks.

She required a micro round-per-minute of Dopamine to maintain her pressure. Do I have the hyphens correct in round-per-minute? There wouldn't be a hyphen between micro and round would there? Hyphens really get me :(

I have replayed this multiple times and could swear the RN is saying the patient received 5.15 liters per minute of oxygen but that does not seem reasonable to me. The patient is in ICU for pulmonary hemorrhage and was desatting below 80.  Feedback anyone?

Would it be possible that my doc is saying "Unusual cornea. Right propine measuring 4 mm, the left 2 mm." I am not the best at researching yet. I have been on quite a few sites and you guys were my last stop. I appreciate the help.

I've never heard of "unusual" cornea. Maybe "irregular". And he's probably saying right "pupil" measuring 4mm
