Taking their meds During Every Occurance . . . hmmmm It's not a doctor's order/scrip talk, but it may be one of those "unofficial" abbreviations commonly used in certain circles. You know, that's the kind of stuff that gets medical personnel sent to court. Thanks for your input. My husband says dinner's ready!

Yeah, I already told her to do just that. I couldn't take responsibility for faulty data - possibly resulting in patient injury. I just wanted to know for myself, and to pass to her if possible so she could clarify "intelligently" with the client. I even suggested it may be a misprint - or someone's initials - but she said it appears several times in the documents. I'll let you know when she hears back from them. 'Till then, anyone else?

My sister works for a market research company and deals with a lot of medical /pharmeceutical product testing. She is going to start a project soon, and the drug company sent their patient database for "scziophrenic patients taking their meds DEO". She called me asking for help with the abbreviation (as she does occaisionally) and this one has me stumped :imbar. I've tried several abbreviation websites and Psych resource sites, but no luck. Can anyone help? She says it's in several places and not a misprint.
