hematocrit...sm
Subject: hematocrit...sm

According to my lab book, hematocrit is not capitalized.  I know docs make up words all the time, but according to all of my books, no capitalization for hematocrit at all.  Hope that helps you.
yes, hematocrit
Subject: yes, hematocrit


Really?!?!? Uh, maybe hematocrit?

The 2 kinda go hand in hand. Listen carefully, and you'll probably hear platelet following it.
I believe it is "crit" as in hematocrit
Subject: I believe it is "crit" as in hematocrit

Usually say that with blood work, hemoglobin and hematocrit, but I would not type crit I would type hematocrit.

hematocrit capitalization
Subject: hematocrit capitalization

I swear I read somewhere that Hematocrit should be capitalized.  I know Hemoccult is capitalized, but......have I lost my mind?  Did anyone else ever run across Hematocrit being capped.  For the reason that machinery in the lab is called Hematocrit and therefore they are defaulting to capitalizing it?  If not, I am dreaming about transcription and making up rules (again hahaha)

How to type hematocrit measurement
Subject: How to type hematocrit measurement

How do you type a hematocrit measurement when they say


Hematocrit 37.8 volumes percent.


THX in advance!


an hematocrit with that value is low....kinda sorta
Subject: an hematocrit with that value is low....kinda sorta

Hemoglobin and hematocrit are like 14 and 42.....hematocrit is supposed to be about 3 times the hemoglobin.......so I presume dictator is speaking about the hematocrit....and so if the hematocrit is 36 then the hemoglobin is 11-12........and these are slightly low...


hence, anemia.......


upper levels (for hemoglobin or hematocrit) ? nm

Thanks for taking a stab at it.    Been MT'g for a very long time and this is a first.  New account and so far 3 docs have dictated it as 40 and 4 weeks.

Subject: pretty clearly (sm)

He often slurs words but this is pretty clear. It's possible it doesn't begin with "t" but I do hear the "r", pretty sure of the "eye" sound and "n". It sounds like "Tree-in" long i. I really appreciate all your help.

that he is saying Q2, I think. It doesn't sound like Pupilscan II.

I did see the hits on google about the transistors, but I couldn't make any sense of what he would mean by that. I listened again, and it's pretty clear he's saying Q2 pupillometer.

I searched cue 2, que 2, queue 2, etc. and couldn't find anything either.

Thank you so much to all of you for your help.
No, it's pretty clear

It doesn't sound like warfarin or heparin. Thanks for the suggestion!

at least the trine part is . . . I thought a couple of times I might be hearing upset (trine), but I don't think so. It really does sound like obsetrine.

I definitely am hearing laprobiotic or laprobotic; he says. I think it is a laparoscopic procedure using a robotic arm but not sure of the spelling. Cannot find. I guess I will sound it out. Thanks so much.

he slurrs his sentences all together.  What about low transition LVH by voltage?  I couldn't find that anywhere, not that I am even sure that is what he is saying!!!


thanks, I'll let you know, but pretty sure he just butchered something.

I'm hearing sudden or seven.  He says severe clearly earlier on in the sentence.  All ideas are very much appreciated though!

I would say hCG instead of HCG. It stands for human chorionic gonadotropin. It is found in the blood and urine of pregnant women (and other rarer things, like cancer). Blood hCG makes total sense, and the values you listed make sense if a miscarriage occurred.
