Subject: GI consult, reason for consultation

All I know so far is that the patient is being seen in GI consultation and she is combative and age 90+.

REASON FOR CONSULTATION sounds like:
"Aerfo biddy bosdus stil."

I'm thinking

Here for _____ stool.

but still clueless. He is ESL, probably Indian.

It probably is nothing more than a simple "consultation", as sometimes those problems could be managed by Orthopedics alone without the need for surgical intervention...or the diagnoses confirmed and referred to an Orthopedic Surgeon for further care.
IV consultation?

Has anyone heard of someone getting an "IV" consultation while in the hospital?  It's a non-english speaker and wonder if I'm hearing "IV" correctly.  The patient has hyperkalemia, hypertension, and osteomyelitis if that helps.  Tx

usually he says laboratory data and he did not on this report.  He talked about the ECG then just said INR 3.0.  The doctor says type as dictated, so I did not feel it went under ECG thats why I wanted to make sure about the lab, not unless it would appropriately fit under ECG??  Thanks

crashing. On the other hand, BOS says non is a word that in most cases does not need a hypen, so it does vary in many instances. Non can be combined with the word being used. Noncommental is an example, but there is no hyphenated statement following it.
