I did check a fasting lipid profile on her today and a chem 18.


She has hypothyroidism, metabolic syndrome, glucose intolerance, and hypertension. Any clues?


chem-18
Subject: chem-18

It's a chemistry panel.  There's also chem-7, chem-14, and chem-20, probably others.  For instance, the chem-14 is the CMP and does 14 chemistries:  glucose, calcium, albumin, total protein,  sodium, potassium, etc.  I don't know offhand what all is in the chem-18. 
Chem-7
Subject: Chem-7

Good Question!

I use Chem-7 because this test is the same as SMA-7, and I find the SMA tests listed with hyphens in Stedman's Abbreviations, Acronyms, & Symbols.

I would think that any of the 3 ways would probably be okay to use unless your client/employer has a preference.

it's not what we think, it is what is correct...
Subject: it's not what we think, it is what is correct...

correct = nicked (verb: to cut nick into)

onelook.com is a good dictionary source on-line.
Were is correct.
Subject: Were is correct.

As the word remainder represents a portion, the verb to use is determined by the noun in the "of phrase" that follows. In your case, "forms" is plural so use were.

This rule also applies for other "portion" words such as none, all, some, part, etc. Hope this helps.

PS: See 'The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation' by Jane Straus.
