Decode a Medical Letter or Test Result From Your GP
A letter lands from the surgery, full of numbers and Latin, and you can't tell if it's routine or something to worry about. This translates the key terms and values, explains what the result means for you, and tells you whether any action is needed. You paste the relevant lines; it gives you the plain-English version before you spend the night on a search engine.
<context>
