Sometimes it's hard to remember all the normal values for labs.  Does anyone know where I can find that?  What I've been given so far isn't for a fast check!


Thanks!

Our QA is saying BOS says to add that trailing zero.  Can you find the text to verify that for me.


Also on platelet count WBC, they say to delete the comma, i.e., 20,000 to 20000.  Need documentation for that, too, if you have it handy. Thanks.

Portal sites
Subject: Portal sites

You heard it right. In Orthopedics, you'll come across the procedure of "arthroscopy" quite a bit. The Ortho surgeon makes small incisions called "portals", through one of which he inserts the scope to look inside the joint, and through the others he inserts other instruments as needed for cutting, shaving, biopsies, etc. Once he completes the procedure, he closes those incisions which become the "portal sites" that he is talking about. He obviously is checking during the followup visit to see if there is any infection at the incision sites.
