NAME LAB DESCRIPTIONS
DESCRIPTION
This file is basically a dictionary of abbreviated codes or notations
which are used in the laboratory repeatedly.  Each one of the 'canned'
codes will expand to a full-length message whenever the code is typed
in at a 'Select COMMENT:' prompt.  Using these codes proves to be a 
great time-saver for lab users, and is especially helpful to the
microbiology package (notorious for long,long names of bacteria and
numerous comments on culture results).  The Blood Bank and Anatomic
Pathology modules use this file extensively as well.
