Swedish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / Abbreviation
Swedish term or phrase: Epl
Any idea what the abbreviation Epl might refer to? This is from the status field of a medical report where someone stamped a list of items to be checked off (below an admission date), such as S, Sår, Ep, Yrkesst, etc.

Discharge summary


Explanation:
Not extermely plausible, but I would say that it is more probable than the extensor pollicis in the context.

My suggestion is based on the assumption that it really reads "Epi", and that this would be short for "epikris" hence discharge summary.
