Translating the medical chart

November 18, 2006

Maria on chart jargon:

At 2:30am, no one wants to translate stuff like
34yo M STH OD 50 tabs trazodone (?dose). No AVH, IOR, TI, MR, PI. Recently released from KCJ for A4.

which means

34yo male stated to have overdosed on 50 tabs of trazodone (unknown dose). He denied auditory and visual hallucinations, ideas of reference, thought insertion, mind reading, or paranoid ideation. Recently released from King County Jail for an assault 4 charge.
