i sure could use some help... i'm transcribing medical records for a pain management doctor and of course i can't read his writing. forget that i have no experience doing this but it's a great addition to my income and i'm figuring it all out.
anyway... i need help... he's written out a "change of medication" that reads: percocet 5mg 1/2 tablet?? PO a circle with a dot in the middle, the number 8L? PNN. and i have no clue what it all means. from what i've figured out so far, he's prescribing percocet, 5mg, 1/2 tablet, by mouth, and the rest is foreign to me and i don't know if i've even got the mg right... it looks like a 5.
can anyone help me with this????????

i've set that report aside and highlighted that entire area for clarification. that's definitely not something i can guess at, nor would i even try to slip that through... thanks again for your reply. 
i'm glad i found and bookmarked this site... keep an eye out for me, i may need you all again and if i can return the favor... just yell.
