Lab tests done at your office on 08/01/07 indicated a free T4 of 4.36 (0.8 to 1.9), T3 was 390 (72 to 170), and a TSH of less than 0.01. A WBC count was slightly low at 3.5 (3.9 to 11.3), hemoglobin was 12.5, hematocrit 37.6, _____ of 77 (80 to 102).
The blank sounds like LEV-IN AND CBU of 77.
??? any thoughts on what lab value this could be based on the normal range of 80 to 102? thanks.

I got an ESL doc that I cannot differentiate between him saying hypo and hyper.
He states that the TSH is more than the normal level and then prescribes levothyroxine. Isn't levothyroxine for hypothyroidism?

"cc" is a possible future listing in JCAHO "do not use list" sm
Subject: "cc" is a possible future listing in JCAHO "do not use list" sm
JCAHO requires its members to follow an official "do not use list" and "cc" is being considered for possible future inclusion in the JCAHO "do not use list" to be replaced by "mL" because it can be misread as U or unit when poorly WRITTEN...typing it is not as problematic but I go ahead and change it to mL to encourage dictators to make the "mental shift" away from "cc" ...hope that helps! see this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medical_abbreviations

Our QA is saying BOS says to add that trailing zero. Can you find the text to verify that for me.
Also on platelet count WBC, they say to delete the comma, i.e., 20,000 to 20000. Need documentation for that, too, if you have it handy. Thanks.
