Lirka May 31, 2009:
You need to consider both DD and DT together, and the fact that they are followed by a date. The only answer that makes sense is Michal's. Date of dictation and date of transcription.
Ellen Kraus May 31, 2009:
and what about distal trachestomy ?
Palma CHATONNET MARTON MS, MA Translation (asker) May 31, 2009:
Thanks Ellen, but I am afraid not. It is about a tracheostomy
Ellen Kraus May 31, 2009:
could it be dialysis treatment ?

Many thanks Liz. Report was written in the US. I am afraid DD means not "died", as I am translating for the patient :-).
