MRC, TR, SOB, HTN, JVP....what a collection of abbreviations!
...and it's only taken me half an hour to decipher the letter I received today from the meeting I had with a member of my consultant's team 10 days ago.
An interesting read, with good news, bad news and food for thought.
How many of you have had such a letter and thought "Can someone translate this!?"
Yep not a clue what any of that means, so well done on working it out 😗
Normally (although not necessarily ) some are these:
SOB- shortness of breath
TR- tricuspid regurgitation
JVP- Jugular Venous Pressure
HTN-Hypotension or high blood pressure
not a clue with MRC.
I had to Google them lol x
Not all that useful to have a copy of a letter you can't read! If you're ever struggling in future you can always give us a call and we can try to decipher things for you!
