Hey there...

Can anyone of yall help me with these?

L pneumo

(This was in a sentence.....CXR revealed RUL pneumonia and L pneumo.......I know that it says : chest xray revealed Right upper lobe, but not sure about the end)

Abx

(Antibiotics???)

ATC

(In sentence...Accucheck ordered q1h ATC)

MCA lesion

CVICU

DHT

(DHT inserted & Jevity started?)

S/P AMI

(I know that SP is status post - but not sure about AMI)

I really do appreciate any help with this guys.

Don't be embarrassed! There are no silly questions here. Sometimes we get a little bent out of shape if someone just posts a whole problem (or whole assignment) here without putting any thought into it, but when we know you're trying, no one minds helping you out.
