normal lab values sites

Sometimes it's hard to remember all the normal values for labs.  Does anyone know where I can find that?  What I've been given so far isn't for a fast check!


Thanks!

is somewhat an invasion of privacy.  I may opt to participate on a different MT site (subscriber paid).  There are other boards out there not tracking you this way that are free.  I just don't feel this is right.  If you are going to be tracked this way, then you might as well pay the fee since overall, the boards seem to provide much more help/information, etc.

1/2 inch also; however, a few clients have specifically requested that we use decimals instead of fractions to describe measurements of length. And that's what I said, it depends on the client. Regardless of how long a person works in this business, there will always be clients who want things done their way--right or wrong. I type for an ESL who insists we type verbatim, even when he dictates "X-rays show fractures in her both feet."

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.
