Re: rough time
Sorry lil Sis. I was tidying up for a bit. Or trying to make an attempt at it.
So yes, you probably need to expand GI to Gastrointestinal.
CCF is Chronic Cardiac Failure and MI is Myocardial
Infarction. LV is Left Ventricle and is important as when you have an MI or heart attack, often the left ventricle is damaged. This leads to an impaired heart that pumps less effectively and leads to CCF. LV function also deteriorates over time, causing a worsening of CCF. So MI, LV and CCF are all connected to each other.
FVC or Forced Vital Capacity is a measure of lung function. In this case it's very important as the patient has Chronic Obstructive Airways Disease,with a diagnosis of Emphysema. They have dyspnoea, or shortness of breath. This is in part due to the CCF because the impaired pumping function of the heart is causing a backlog of circulatory fluids into the lungs, but the patient is also a smoker, which is destroying their lung capacity. So although it's kinda related to the heart, in this instance the report is also broken down into body systems. Heart, lungs, GI, etc.
CKD is chronic kidney disease. This has also impaired due the poor LV function, as the heart is struggling to pump adequate fluids around the body. Everything in the body is connected and important to each other.
GORD is Gastric Oesophageal Reflux Disease. A fancy name for reflux
When you know and understand the connections, it's much easier to relate to it all.

Re: rough time
lol @Former-Member not brave maybe just stupid.
The assignment is all oral, so the attachment is the medical report that they want me to narrate as part of the assessment. theyve told me to expand on abbreviations wherever neccessary. Im no sure if MI, GI, LV or FVC need to be expanded in this case or if its ok to just leave as the abbreviations.
then i also have a list of words that i need to be able to pronounce and do an oral task for that aswell.
thanks @Shaz51 though im pretty sure (i think) LV- in this case is left ventricle as its to do with the heart.

Re: rough time
thank you! that makes alot more sense as to what they hell they are talking about! i knew what LV stood for (or well i was pretty sure it was and you just confirmed it) but not FVC.
So when im narratting this report are all those abbreviations suppose to be expanded to what they actually mean ie MI-myocardial infarction or can it just stay as MI in this case?
sorry @Sans911 im just really stressing over this one

Re: rough time
Treat this like you are talking to a lay person or you are teaching a new receptionist.
Expand everything, that way you've covered everything. They probably want to expand on those abbreviations so they can hear how you sound with them. Whether you are comfortable with the terminology or not. In an actual report, you wouldn't expand them because it's like a language between medical professionals @outlander

Re: rough time
Thanks @Shaz51. My medical knowledge has many uses. Although I'd forgotten what fvc was, something to do with lung capacity, but I had to look it up. I'm not perfect, but then again, not trying to be.

Re: rough time
that was the part i was getting confused. in some of the reports i had to write up they said i didnt have to expand but i think i will anyway that way i cant really go that wrong can i?
and yeah they want to see how i go saying them as well as the other assigments have been mostly writing the reports, finding and defineing abbreviations and words etc.
thank you xo
