Subject: EKG: ADP NP (or) and P are interval normal axis.
I hate abbreviations.
The only thing that shows up in my cardiology book is adenosine diphosphage, and that doesn't tell me what the next NP or and P would mean. I wish they'd just say what they mean instead of abbreviating, because if I can't figure them out I'm blanking them.

What is the most recent rule regarding diagnosis?
Axis 1:

Do you run the diagnosis right after axis, or begin a new left at the left margin underneath the Axis?
I am having some reports changed to:
AXIS I:
BIPOLAR DISORDER (rather than putting it on the same line as AXIS).
Thanks very much.
