Laboratory Interpretation
Hi everyone! I've been asked several times to host a live lab interpretation course. This would be a 6-week course that would be 60-90 minutes long once a week. The cost would be $50 for the 6-week course. Is this something the people in this group would also be interested in? I'm trying to see if I'm limiting the sessions to 15 people so there can be discussion. I'm trying to see if I need more than one session.

Are her meds at the max doses or did previous provider just keep adding a new med each time uncontrolled? Is she actually compliant with medication? Depending on my history and physical exam & medication depends my next step. Would encourage DASH diet, monitoring BP twice daily & follow up in office in 1 week. Also if establish care grabbing labs.

Full assessment. Stay CXR. Vital signs. Understand when it happened, what was he doing, is it constantly, any chest pain associated? Can obtain a CBC, to check for infection. Any recent sick contacts? Hx of asthma? Obtain d-dimer, check iron Panel & ferritin. If I’m Inpatient would obtain a CTA chest
