Subject: What kind of test???

It sounds like the doc is saying "heel" test.

Sentence: The patient questions whether she needs to have a bone density test done. She did have a _________ test done, which was apparently normal, but her last formal bone density test was done in 2002.

I tried googling "heel" tests or "heal" tests and everything in between. Any ideas?

After, reading your post this morning. I finally figured out what the first blank was it is "this is used to elevate the left lobe of the liver away from the anterior wall of the stomach" It was left lobe. I was able to correct this and now am sending it in. It was not a stat.
