Subject: Two of the words are probably chronic and emphysematous
Not sure about the "five gram." And are you sure it is "decreased"? In this context, "increased" would make more sense.
No, don't cap gram-negative. The test Gram stain is capitalized - per Stedmans Inf Dis Book. -s

Also, I worked in a lab for many years, and gram-negative and gram-positive are not capitalized. Gram is the name of the doctor or scientist who came up with the staining test, Gram stain, so that is capped.

Please let me know. I've done a lot of duplex ultrasounds over the past 5-6 years but I am very "aural" when it comes to dictation - once I see "increment" and have that in my mind, I can't think of anything else.  Anyway, I would like to know what it is in case I run across it.
Thanks!

I've spent too much time on it as it is. I'm overly tired and grumpy anyway from getting up to pee every hour for the last several nights from my own urinary issues. The NP said I'd have relief today. What an a**hole. I'm in so much pain. He insists it could not be a kidney stone yet I'm peeing massive amounts of blood and blood clots. I've had a hyster so I know it's not coming from there. I don't usually wish things on people but I'm so grumpy from lack of sleep and in so much pain right now, I hope he gets one this bad. Curses!
