Abbreviations
I have been using certain abbreviations since I was a Medical Assistant before and also as a Registered Acupuncturist now and soon to be RMT!!
I will be posting some abbreviations up here
I will put more and more as I go
If you find something in my blog and don't know what it means, please leave comment on the each subject, I will look into it and add some over here 😉
Thanks!
