I saw the patient for an extended neurological consultative on this day.

Dr. Says Consultative twice in the report.. would you use that term?

consultative - Nancy

it's an adjective which means intended for consultation such as a consultative committee. It looks like it should be consultation though.

"consultation" is correct. I wonder if doc might actually be saying "consultation". (?)

It's amazing how words end up sounding on tape, or with different speech patterns, etc!
