Uhm, no. > their conclusion would be recorded as a diagnosis of hyponatremia. While most doctors will do that it is wrong. Hyponatremia is not a diagnosis. It is just a supposedly-clever way of saying what the lab already said. It is intended to make non-doctors think we doctors are in control of the situation. At best, it is an unresolved problem. All in all it is a _finding_, or observation, notably out-of-range :-) Karsten -- GPG key ID E4071346 @ eu.pool.sks-keyservers.net E167 67FD A291 2BEA 73BD 4537 78B9 A9F9 E407 1346 _______________________________________________ openEHR-technical mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openehr.org/mailman/listinfo/openehr-technical_lists.openehr.org
