JVD Measurement
Jan 05, 2011

Thus far I have only had doctors refer to the JVD as flat or raised or sometimes at zero.  Tonight, this doc says "JVD is 0 to 9 degrees/90 degrees" [I think].  I have found a site that describes JVD measurements, and one of them is 90 degrees--but there is no "zero to" part. Now I am second guessing my thought about it being 0 to 90 degrees.  This doc is very sweet, but really mumbles the ends of his sentences. Anyone know about the JVD?? ...

First, I cannot find leukoesterase in any dictionary and believe he must mean leukocyte esterase.  Can I change it?  Should I flag it if I do or is it one of those things that is obvious enough that it doesn't need to be flagged.  Second, should I punctuate it differently?  I mean the WBC and he ...
