Yes, I have drug books, in fact, just got new pharmceutical book from Saunders, 2007. I just could not find it. Sorry I did not look hard enough.

We come onto this board for HELP not to get yelled at or made a fool of. Thanks for nothing.

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.

Were you asking if doc may be saying fluticason? If so, he's definitely not saying that.

Entire sentence:

He would very much like to stay off insulin if at all possible. If this is not keeping him under control, may add a s/l glitisone/glutisone type drug.

Thanks for your help.

Don't know about BOS, but leukocyte esterase is just a test for an enzyme that might indicate a uti...so in my experience, it's either a positive or negative result. If he gives you actual numbers or ranges (10-20), then he's talking about actual white blood cells (leukocytes).

At least that's my understanding.

Hope that helps!

If you cannot find it in the BOS, then chances are it does not matter.....unless the client profile specifically says not to abbreviate it should be OK.......
