I am not familiar with what ACT is, but I am fairly certain this is what he says, but I cannot document it either. Would appreciate any help with this.
We are going to get stool cultures for ova and parasites, and all of the usual s/l ACT suspects, including C. difficile overgrowth.
TIA!

Subject: "melanotic" stool--fact or fiction??
Okay, when I was in transcription training I got this wrong--supposedly there is no such word as "melanotic," at least when it refers to stool. And yet when I google it, I find it. What's the final word on this term from all you experienced MTs out there?? Is it "melanotic" or "melenic" or neither one??
